Disconnect joints

 
 
 

You can disconnect joints in a skeleton to separate joint chains. The joint that is disconnected becomes the root joint of a new skeleton.

Note
  • If you disconnect a joint in a joint chain that has an IK handle, the IK handle will be deleted.
  • You can not disconnect a root joint.
  • You can disconnect the joints of a character with a bound skin without having to detach its skin.

The joint disconnects from its skeleton and becomes the root of a new skeleton.
