- [Instructor] If you're going to work with a bunch of parts
and you want them to all move together,
or you want the ability to manipulate
a bunch of parts at one time,
we want to establish a group.
Groups are pretty easy to create.
Go ahead and just choose some objects over here
holding down the Control button
so I can group a bunch of these things together,
all those pieces here.
And then right down below that,
you can see there is 5 Parts Selected.
They are visible.
I can hide them or show them.
Or I can create a new group.
Or I can merge these parts together to become one part.
So I have a whole bunch of options.
But if I click on New Group, here that is,
now it's called Part Group number one.
I can rename that if I'd like to right over here.
So we'll call that G1 for Group One.
And then I can just hide that whole thing at one time.
Or I can move that whole thing at one time.
And if I want to come up here, for instance,
under Object Manipulation Tools,
I can select not just individual models or parts,
but I can say group.
So I'd like to choose that group right there.
And then I'd like to move that around.
So I'm going to be moving that group
that I just made of all those individual parts.
I'm going to actually bring it up here above that.
So I'm moving it as a group.
I have that control to move everything as a group,
add things to the group, remove things from the group.
Just a great way to kind of bunch things together
that all work together.
If you look at the other model, which is a sample model,
the Camaro that's a default project,
you could then think about grouping together,
like the tire, the wheel and the lug nuts, for instance.
That would be a great group.
Then you could turn the wheels of the car
or something along those lines.
As we get into animation,
that's going to really come into play quite a bit.
