Usually when a connected Asset is being manipulated rubber-banding is active so any connected Assets will be automatically updated after the manipulation. However, if the user holds the SHIFT key while manipulating an Asset then any connections will be broken and the connected Assets will not get updated after the manipulation.


Select the Asset to be manipulated.

Manipulate the Asset while holding down the SHIFT key.

The manipulated Asset will no longer be connected to any of the other Assets.

Please note that the RED LINES show above have been added to illustrate the joins that were broken and will NOT actually appear in the Asset View.
