parent = null vs setParent(null)

I"m removing a parent from a child mesh,

  1. when I use parent = null the child mesh uses its local position,scale and rotation in world space
  2. when I use setParent(null) the child mesh retains its local position,scale and rotation in world space with the parent’s position,scale and rotation…meaning - removing the parent does not create a visual change

Number 2 is the behaviour I want, but I don’t see it documented, so I want to make sure this is a feature that will be retained or that it is intended. Thanks

Pinging our Wizard of Words (aka @JohnK) to see if he could help here :slight_smile:
