Hello,

I have a Null created in Layout with a few objects parented to that null.

I now want to move only the Null position because it's not in the position I want it to be. I do not want the parented items to move.

Is there a way to move "only" the null without having to unparent the objects that are parented to it and then re-parent them after moving the Null?

Thanks,

You want something like Dynamic Parenting. Do a search in 'Plug-Ins' on Flay.com- there's a couple free ones that claim to do that. Probably be less a hassle just unparenting everything, moving and re-parenting though.

Also in LW8 a least, in Modeller you can parent object layers to another layer, so for example you can just create a point in say layer 20, go through the layers and in layer settings (in modeler) parent them all to layer 20 then in Layout parent layer20 to a null. Same amount of work unless planned for but *shrug*..

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I actually found another way to do it in Layout that seems to be working so far.

I can select the Null and then "Move Pivot" to move the Null where I need to.

Thanks.

Move Pivot works great dealing with XYZ movement, just don't rotate the null on HPB. And if it works on rotation, tell me what you did..

Hello,

Now that you mention it the Null I did the, Move Pivot, on was not rotated so fortunatley it worked.

I vaguely recall another Null being messed up because there was HPB rotation on it.

If I find another way of dealing with this issue I will certainly let you know.

Thanks again for your help.
