Subject: putting objects in a group

I am wondering if there is a way to put several objects of one prop (like a chaise lounge containing a base, mat, pillow, back) into one group? In the hierarchy editor everything is parented to the base. I can move all the objects of the chaise lounge as one group, but when I want to scale everything at the same time, things get wonky and only the base will scale. Is it possible to scale different props all at the same time? Thanks for any help! Anne

you could try creating a grouping prop (objects>create grouping) and parent everything to that. I've had good luck resizing everything that way.

I tried that, but it didn't work. I wish there was an easy way to scale different objects all at the same time.

Another option would be to export all the props as an obj and import them and then reimport them as one object. You may have to set up the shaders again.

Oh and something else, with the grouping prop, don't have the rest of the parts parented to the base when you parent it to the group.

The easiest way of scaling several props together is, as RedPhantom mentioned, to parent all the stuff you want to be scaled to something like the Poser ball. Then scale the ball. And make it invisible to the renderer.

I've done this loads of time. It works :)
