Group and ungroup objects

You can group several objects together to form a group object.

When an object is part of a group, it retains its own transformations (position, rotation, and scale) and can also be affected by any transformations made to the group.

By grouping objects, you can reduce clutter by reducing the number of individual pickable objects in the scene.
