Hi,

you can try to override the glueobject value for those rbd-glue pieces you want to unglue.

Add a RBD State op after the RBD Glue Object, leave the “Glue to Object” field enpty and set the field behaviour
to “set always”, then set “Group mask” to the name of the pieces you want to unglue.

hope this help

sweet so lets say i have pieces 1-10, 11-20, and 21-30 in 3 groups. each of the pieces within those groups i want to remain stuck to each other, but each group i want seperated from each other group. would that work if i just specified the 3 groups, or would that unglue all objects within the group and not just their relationship to each other?

I think that in this case you can proceed in 2 ways

- create 3 distinct rbd glue objects starting from 3 SOPs, partitioning pieces at SOP level
- create a single rbd fractured object and 3 empty rbd objects acting as glues, then set
the piece-glue relationships using rbd state ops.

How your sop is configured ?
