Grouping objects.

Support Basics & Interface

Hello everyone.

I’m working on an object library so that I can create scenes quickly using some stock objects. What I want to do is have a .blend file full of, for example, trees and plants which can be imported into other scenes on demand.

I’m obviously missing a crucial step though: my trees are made out of multiple objects, grouped together. When I import the parent object, I don’t get its children. Is there a way to group them together so they can be imported as one set easily, without actually merging them via boolean?

Howdy!

Don’t append the object; append the group.

For example, have all your objects for Tree “A” be members of a group. If you append/link the group itself to the new file, the objects all come over, complete with their parent/child relationships.

Cheers!

Ah thanks! I was coming at it from the wrong end, hahaha.
