Usage

Relations Management

Data-blocks can be dragged and dropped to manage data relations in the Outliner. To begin a drag and drop, LMB click and drag from the name or icon of a data-block.

Objects can be moved to collections by dropping on the name or contents of a collection. To link an object to a collection, hold Ctrl while dropping. To set parent-child relations between objects, drop an object onto another object while holding Shift.

Note

Drag and drop will attempt to operate on the entire selection. Selected data-blocks that are incompatible with the operation will remain unmodified.

Modifiers, Constraints, & Visual Effects

You can manage Modifiers, Constraints, and Visual Effects from the Outliner in a couple ways:

• To change the order within the stack select the desired modifier and move it above or below other modifiers.

• To apply a single modifier, right click on the modifier and select apply in the popover menu.

• To delete a single modifier, right click on the modifier and select delete in the popover menu.

• To copy a single modifier to another, select the modifier and drag it on top of the desired object.

• To copy the whole modifier stack to another object, select the modifier icon and drag in to the desired object.
