Description

The Deactivate Attachment disables current attachment of an object. The Map Mode property of an object is set to Deactivated, other attachment properties remain untouched.

This is useful when the attachment is not needed temporary. Deactivated Map Mode enables precise object movement e.g. with TransformManip tool. After placement correction the AttachInPlace tool can be used to apply corrected Attachment Offset property.

    • Use the keyboard shortcut: X then D.
