Weight Mapping Issue

Faux2D

I am trying to erase the weight map on the ring (see attachment). The ring is a full 3d closed object meaning its geometry is separate from that of the belt. This happens often when I'm working and separated geometry that is fully red cannot be modified in any way.

I have tried:

- Weight Editing -> Fill Selected -> 0%

- Weight Editing -> Smooth Selected

- Weight Editing -> Attenuate Selected

- Alt (Hold) + Paint Brush

- Smooth Brush

The only thing that I can think of that might work is deleting the weightmap altogether but in this case it's not a feasable option for me.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Rather than erasing the map have you tried painting positive weight onto whatever bone you want the ring to folloe?

That worked! It also deleted the red area from the bone that geometry stuck to.

Thank you.
