Animation > Create > New Cluster

Creates exclusive or multiple clusters in an animation.

Note:

In Alias Design, the command is Animation > New Cluster.

New Cluster Options

Exclusive – Members of the new cluster are not allowed to be in any other cluster.

Multiple – The picked elements are allowed to be in other clusters.

Note:

You can change the Members state once a cluster has been created in the Cluster Editor window (Animation > Editors > Clusters ).

Face-surface CVs can be included in clusters and animated, but will not render properly if they are not maintained in the same plane.

Limit transformations of face-surface CVs and clustered face-surface CVs along the plane of the face-surface.
Copying a cluster with Edit > Duplicate > Object creates a null node.

Instead, create a new cluster and empty it.

Use the cluster editor to copy the cuts from the original cluster into a new cluster. This will preserve the cluster percentages. Reorder the clusters so that the new cluster immediately follows the original.
Copying cluster members with Edit > Duplicate > Object places the new objects in the same clusters as the original, it will not create new clusters.

Instead, use Edit > Copy and Edit > Paste to create a copy of both clusters and members.
