Disconnecting parent-child objects

You can unparent child objects using the Viewer window, Scene browser, or Schematic view.

To disconnect parent-child objects in the Scene browser or Viewer window:

1. Right-click the child object of any parent.
2. Select Unparent > Confirm from the context menu.

To disconnect parent-child objects in the Schematic view:

1. In the Viewer window, switch to the Schematic view (Ctrl-W).
2. Click in the Schematic view, then press P to activate Parenting mode.
3. Select the node representing the child object you want to disconnect. Ctrl-click additional children to add them to the selection.
4. Drag the selection to the parent object’s node and release the mouse button when the parent is highlighted.

   Releasing the mouse button over an object other than the parent disconnects the selected children from their parent, and connects them to the selected object.
