Problem

When I try to cancel the parent-child relationship, I get a message saying “Loop in parents”…

Cause

Trying to create a double parent-child relationship

This time, I will introduce how to deal with “Loop in parents” in Blender.

Error “Loop in parents”

Loop in parents Loop in parents 在父级中循环
Loop in parents Loop in parents 在父级中循环

In Blender 2.78, “Parent is cycling.”

Cause: Trying to create a double parent-child relationship

I'm trying to create a double parent-child relationship.

If you select one of the following when canceling the parent-child relationship after an armature has been created, an error will occur.

  • Armature deformation
    • in an empty group
    • with automatic weights
    • with envelope weights

How to break the parent-child relationship of an armature

  1. [Object mode]
  2. Select Armature → Object.
  3. [Object context menu] → [Parent] → [Clear parent-child relationship].
1. select Armature > Objects. 2. object context menu → parent → clear the parent-child relationship.

That’s it!

Lastly

I’m sure he slipped his hands to cancel the parent-child relationship after a long time. ← (self)
