No. Add everything to groups and change the outliner to Group view.
problem is that if a group several cars (each car’s parts groupd to an empty), original car group parts are getting all mass.
I need to think from big to small ? first group all cars parts, and then group each car parts to his own empty ?
Thanx

Don’t confuse Group from Parenting. Group is just a collection of objects. No big to small, just collections. Group origin is at the Global origin. Empty have no particular function in group.
Parenting on the other hand is organized collection. Parent object is at the top, and collections of children object below. If you move the Parent, all children will follow. You can have Empty as a parent for control.
Yes, you’re right, i understand.
What i did until now is to select all cars parts then select an empty and Parent them.
Thanx again

Group view is how I’m approaching an house project, too, but indeed I think it would be better if Outliner had some kind of folder / hiearchy feature.
o.k, so got a new question, when i want to add a blend file to my project, I’m appending.
But where to append from, Object or Mesh folders ?
and another one, in a big project, how can i get control over all my materials ? can i view them all together at the same window/editor ?
thanx
