Hi all, The sixd drag is not working correctly if the “ **root** ” mesh is given a parent I don’t know how to solve it. > **[Babylon.js Playground](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#EXHR9J%238)** > > Babylon.js playground is a live editor for Babylon.js WebGL 3D scenes ---

This simple PG works - [drag test | Babylon.js Playground (babylonjs.com)](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#EXHR9J#9) . It attaches a behavior to the parentNode you have created In your example, it seems like you are attaching to the wrong parent. I didn’t follow the code fully, but if you do this - [drag test | Babylon.js Playground (babylonjs.com)](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#EXHR9J#10) it does work (i.e. attach to the last parent of the tree). ---

Thank you it works much better, could you please help me with the issue of dragging child meshes when the button is pressed? Do i need to find the first parent of the child mesh and try to drag the whole transform node instead of the single child mesh? ---

I am not entirely sure what you are trying to achieve, so it is had to answer. Are you trying to be able to drag specific parts of a mesh? Or move the entire mesh? Or both? 🙂 ---

I would like to be able to drag specific parts of a mesh, the idea is when i tap on a part of a mesh, let’s say a wheel, that wheel is now dragable, and if i tap on multiple meshes in a row, they all become draggable. Thank you for all your help. ---

I believe you should maintain the state of the pointer event(s) a little better, but this would work - [drag test | Babylon.js Playground (babylonjs.com)](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#EXHR9J#11) remove the parent from the single mesh when dragging it, and then set it back when you are done with dragging ---
