I have a group of props (walls, ceiling and flooring parts) that I want to group into one whole prop so that I can rotate and turn them all as one. That way, I can save myself some time by dropping a whole prop into a scene rather than parts. How can it be done?

Litterally combining them into one prop is not what you need. You can parent them all to one of them: Make sure you have a prop selected, in the figures menu select 'set figure parent...', find the prop you want to be parent in the drop down list, select it and voila: the parented prop will turn and spin with its parent when you turn or spin this. Proceed to parent all of the other items to that same parent, and then when you need you need to turn or spin your scene, you just turn or spin the parent and everything else turns with it. Was this what you had in mind? -Hanz

Hanz' idea is great and will work. Another way is to export all of it as an obj, then reimport that obj. The parts have then been kidan glued together. You can save the complete thing to your props palette but that is optional. Hanz' version will give you a model where you can still remove parts of it (for camera placements or the like) Whereas my version will be one coherent thing :o) Your choice :o)

I wanted the same thing on some building parts. I parented them all together as Hanz said and then Steve Shanks added this bit to it (see below) and it worked very well for me...I went from a 1 section Prop to a corner building prop...even though it loads as 1 prop, it still lists all the parts....I don't know how to change that... "Just export it, don't change any settings or boxes on the export, just do a standard export BUT when you import UNcheck all the boxes...."

Thank you!!!Thank you!!!Thank you!!!Thank you!!!Thank you!!!Thank you!!! Parenting the props worked like a charm!!!
