So I have multiple cubes to which I try to add empties as children. These empties copy/instantiate other geometry. As I try to duplicate and reparent the empties I encountered a strange behavior. My steps are:
- Select all children
- Shift+D
- Escape (to keep the relative position)
- Shift-Click the new parent to select it too
- Object Context Menu\Parent\Object
This does not update the position of the children.
What does update the position is this:
- Select all children
- Shift+D
- Escape (to keep the relative position)
- Under Properties\Object Context\Relations change the parent to the new parent
- Repeat for every child
Now the second approach works but is very tedious, that's why i tried the first method. I also made a video of me trying both methods: https://youtu.be/jdKWM_cLef4
Any advice would be appreciated. Maybe even an explanation why the results of both methods differ.
