Linking: Parent / Child question

[chepe297]

Make A a CHILD of B... I think... no, I am pretty sure.

In the case of an HI chain if you move a parent all of the children move, if you move a child, then all the 'sub children' under it will move, correct?

That's right! :scream:

The object you are linking to will be the Parent.

Link 'A' to 'B': 'B' is the Parent.

You know, oddly enough I find myself resorting to a pen and paper manually drawing out linking chains. Old tech is the best tech.

Another question:

Parents can have multiple children, but children can only have one parent?

Yes... but you can also link a child to another parent via Controllers. For example to inherit the position of a parent but rotate to always look at another object. Etc.
