I’m sure that this is a very simple solution. As the title quoted I want to remove the preview only from the sockets. As I am aiming to add a lot of other weapons to the model. Is there a way to toggle which one is visible? Thank you in advance! ![344484-screenshot-2021-07-19-175502.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/7/1/8/7185392b6093d372dddffadf827e2483e9654ea1.png) ![344485-screenshot-2021-07-19-175518.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/b/d/4/bd4037835d428fc9ad7928c77333c821ee59c2a9.png) ---

You want to remove a preview mesh from the socket? Right click the socket and select “remove all attached assets”. If I understand the question correctly, there’s no toggle for preview assets, only add and remove. ---

Apologies for the necro: Is there any way to make it a regular mesh and not a preview mesh? ---

To delete one 1 preview asset from the skeleton tree: While holding the LMB over the preview asset, click RMB. This reveals the “Delete” option in the context menu. See screenshot for reference. @Macek696 @Astaraa ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/9/5/7/957d087a8e41ccbbbacf77d0faa4de3863e6d4a8.png) ---
