If you select only the parent, during the update, the system rebuilds the children, but does not transform them. This can lead to unexpected results. For example, to transform a solid that is the parent of one or more child curves, such as offset curves created with the Associative Output option, select both the solid and the curves. Otherwise, the system transforms only the solid and rebuilds the associative curves.</p>
