Hey all, I was curious. I have 2 objects. I parented one to the other. so when i click one object and move it, the second moves as well. But when I click the other object and move it, the 2nd object doesnt move with it. Whats up with that? How do i make fix this? Thanks. a3-ro.jpg

it's been my experience that this is just the way it works.......you've parented one object to the other, not both to each other, and so the parent object dictates movement and not the parented one.....i hope that's somewhat concise and helpful......

thewolf described is precisely.. one's the parent the other a child... parent drags child, child wanders on it's own 8 ) about the only way to keep them always together would be to make them all of a piece, in other words no movement at all export re-import single part.. Cheers

Just joking. LOL. Lets make it clear, the 1st object is call "Parent", the 2nd object which attached to the "Parent" is call "Child". When you move the parent, it will lead the child as well but when you move the child, it will have no effect to the parent. A private cannot give order to a caption, right?

"What you'll discover is that some rules can be bent. Others, broken." Okay, then. Is there way that i can make the whole thing a figure so they stay completely as one (and keep their morphs)? a3-ro.jpg
