What do the dashed lines in the outliner mean? Two of my objects are somehow linked to each other in that one of the items are copying itself on the other but I can't figure out how. I don't think its instancing because when I unparent the object and reparent it with another one it doesn't work, and its not using a hair modifier to do it either.
Main question: What relationship are the dashed lines in the outliner indicative of?
I know the green triangle with three dots is a mesh and the solid orange triangle is an object. I pointed an arrow to it in case its hard to see.
Dashed line means the child object isn't present in the same collection.
It probably got left in a different one.
The parent-child relationship still exists, but the 'misplaced child' :( won't be treated as a part of the collection (for instancing, particles or simulations)
