Copy Parent without Copying the Children?

Hi,

Whenever I select only the parent and perform Copy and Paste command, both the parent AND its children are pasted.
Is there a way to copy the parent without copying the Children? Currently, I have to delete children, which is a bit cumbersome on repetitive tasks.

Thank you for looking at my problem.

Regards,
Ben

Hi Ben,

Not by default, but I guess that someone over at the developer forum might have an idea for a little script, which could be then expanded with a short cut.

Good luck.

P.S.: I’m not a coder, so use the idea below with caution. Select the parent, then run the script, preferably via short-cut.

Hi Ben,

Sorry that the little script isn’t working for you. Perhaps Maxon’s Python forum has something for you. Fingers crossed.

Cheers
