Hi Scott,

As you have found out, a child will get rescaled with a parent.

You can use the Hierarchy Editor (HE) to "Drag & Drop" (D&D) objects to change their parent so it is ALMOST the same as using the drop down menu (ddm). You can change a parent using the HE and the D&D method ... but you can not "unparent" something using the HE. You must use the ddm method and, as SamTherapy said, parent it to >>> the Universe.

And ... After you have "unparented" something ...
If this is a chain of objects, you can D&D the objects that may have gotten moved when you unparented an object to re-parent them back to where you want them.

cheers,

P.S. Thanks for the order. The CD is on it's way to you. ;=]

Remember ... "With Poser, all things are possible, and poseable!"

cheers,

dr geep ... :o]
