inheritTransform [-off] [-on] [-preserve] [-toggle]
[objects...]
inheritTransform is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.
This command toggles the inherit state of an object. If this
flag is off the object will not inherit transformations from
its parent. In other words transformations applied to the
parent node will not affect the object and it will act as
though it is under the world.
If the -p flag is specified then the object's transformation will
be modified to compensate when changing the inherit flag so the
object will not change its world-space location.
None
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
