Unlink data from 2 meshes
Question Materials and Textures

Question

Those 2 knobs are linked together. If I paint on one, it will paint the other.

How do we unlink those so that I can paint on one without painting on the other one at the same time?

You can keep the Object Data Linked, but give each it's own Material, by connecting the Materials to the Objects (change the 'triangle' to the square), instead of to the Data (default)

thx.

But in case you want to unlink everthing, how do you do that? I thought ALT L but it doesn't work.

There are several ways (ALT+L was a really good guess!), you can go to Object > Relations > Make Single User.

Or Click the number Of Users in the Data Properties:
