Maya - Parent selected into target mesh's group (not parent under selected object)
polycounter lvl 4
Parenting by target group...
I'm just wondering, is there a way to do this already?
Is there a mel to parent meshes to the last picked mesh's immediate parent (group) rather than parent as usual (mesh nests under mesh).
Using P to parent is nice, but it takes some added time to pick two objects, find the group of the target in the outliner, then parent the first mesh to that group instead.
