Connect or disconnect items

When you select an object, the right side of the Dynamic Relationships Editor shows the fields, emitters, or collision-capable geometry available for connection or disconnection.

To connect or disconnect items:

1. In the left side of the Dynamic Relationships Editor, click to highlight the object you want to connect (or disconnect) to a field, emitter, or collision-capable geometry.

   If an item is highlighted in the right side, it’s already connected to the object highlighted in the left side.

2. Set the Selection Mode for the type of object in the right side you want to connect to: fields, collision-capable geometry (Collisions), emitters, or all three types.
3. Click to highlight the items in the right column to be connected to the item in the left side. To disconnect an item in the right column, click the item to turn off highlighting.
   TipA selection mode option is dim if it’s irrelevant to the object selected in the left column. For instance, if you select a NURBS or polygonal object, mode options other than Fields are dim because you can’t connect NURBS and polygons to emitters or collision-capable geometry.
