To disinherit an anchor in RealityKit, you would typically remove the anchoring component from the entity. This can be done programmatically by accessing the entity's components and removing the anchoring component. Here is a general approach:
- Identify the Entity: Locate the entity that has the anchoring component you want to remove.
- Remove the Anchoring Component: Use the appropriate API to remove the anchoring component from the entity.
For example, in Swift, you might do something like this:
if let anchoringComponent = entity.components[AnchoringComponent.self] {
entity.components.remove(AnchoringComponent.self)
}
This code checks if the entity has an AnchoringComponent and removes it if it exists.
For more detailed information on handling anchors and their components, you might want to refer to the session Break into the RealityKit debugger which discusses handling anchoring components and other related issues.
