Hi, I'm working on an animation for class in which my character drops a box on a front door after looking around.

To get the box to stay with his body I parented the pivot point to his wrist. The only problem is I don't know how to get him to drop the box on the front door now without the wrist control still affecting it.

Can I key the parenting on and off?

Or whats the best way to make sure a prop stays with a character but can still have its own freedom? Thanksl.
