Grouping the objects


This is a simple but extremely useful tool for any designer who wants to move multiple objects at the same time without always having to select all of them. This is also another way to keep objects aligned to one another when rotating.

Getting ready

  • Before we begin, you must have Sandbox 3 open

  • Then open My_Level.cry

  • Place two objects of any kind near each other (Brush, solid, and so on)

How to do it...

  1. Select both the Objects.

  2. On the Top Main toolbar, click Group | Group.

  3. Give it the name MyFirstGroup.

How it works...

The Group tool allows you to group objects together and move them in unison as if they were one object. You can also clone groups, which makes it easier to populate an area with similar objects.

There's more...

Without ungrouping the objects, it's still possible to change any of the properties of an object within that group. Simply Open the group and select the object you wish to manipulate inside.

To close the group, select the group and click the Close button.
