I have made a mistake with attaching a skin to my skeleton. How do i detach a skin from the skeleton, and how do i detach a skin from a bone?

You use the same tool you used to attach it.

Select skeleton select 'attach Skin to Skeleton' and mouse over the skin - it will highlight, left click and the mesh will detach from the skeleton.

I think .\'attach object to bone' works the same way.

HTH:D

The attach icon is an attach/detach toggle tool.

Which can be annoying sometimes if you have an itchy mouse finger. Attach skin to bone - oops nope not it, there it is, nope detached it, asdf....

Thanks guys. Got it working now with your help :)

The part in question was a mesh attached to three bones. I got two "Object is already attached to a bone. Do you want to use skin modifier to blend meshes between two bones" warnings. And with the third time it finally detached. Phew :)
