Do this Show scene hierarchy in the Hypergraph. 1 Select Window > Hypergraph. 2 In the Hypergraph, select Graph > Scene Hierarchy. Show scene hierarchy in the Outliner. Move a node under another (parent) node. Select Window > Outliner. • In the Hypergraph or Outliner, drag the node onto the parent with the middle mouse button. or • Select the objects you want to assign to the parent, then shift-select the parent and select Edit > Parent. Remove a node from the hierarchy under another node (unparent). • In the Hypergraph or Outliner, drag the node away from its parent with the middle mouse button. or • Select the child object you want to remove from under the parent and select Edit > Unparent > ‰. Tips • You can set the options of the Parent menu item to make the command create an instance under the new parent instead of moving the actual object in the hierarchy. • Unparenting an object removes it from under its parent's transformation node, which can change the object's position in the scene. Open the Unparent menu item's options and turn on the Preserve Position option to apply the transformations to the object as it is unparented so it retains its current position.
