Disconnect selected

Post by Otuama » Mon Jul 01, 2013 9:36 pm

One thing I think is lacking from the relationship editor is the ability to quickly disconnect all of the selected nodes from a hub (or everything).... Unless I've missed it.

For example, I want to use low res versions of objects for rigid bodies and their higher res counterparts for Maxwell. I'm having a lot of problems with this (crashes, very slow Rf responses etc) but that's for another topic.

By default I have nodes connecting to the hub.

When I import my objects, all are connected. However, I only want half (the low res ones) connected. If I turn off add to hub by default, I have the same problem but the opposite way round.

The only way I can see to disconnect the nodes is to:

Group them, remove the links (yellow lines coming out of group) & ungroup.
Select all the nodes, move them, select the lines & delete.
Use the spreadsheet, select all the high res objects, right click, disconnect, Apply/Ok.
Write a script to delete the links.

The majority of those options are ok, I suppose, but each one takes more steps than is needed, which also increases the time it takes.

So, a button that disconnects the links of all selected objects would be good I think.

Hi Sean,

Sounds like a sensible request.
Will get it noted down for future enhancements.
Thanks for bringing it up.

You're working late.

I've made a sensible request? Who'd have thought ?! :roll:
