The commands to manage assemblies are available from the Group menu Assembly submenu.
Topics in this section
Assemble
The Assemble command combines a selection set of objects, assemblies, and/or groups into a single assembly, and adds a Luminaire helper object as a head object.
Open Assembly
The Open command lets you temporarily disassemble an assembly and access its head and member objects individually.
Close Assembly
The Close command reassembles an opened assembly. For nested assemblies, closing the outermost assembly object closes all open inner assemblies.
Disassemble
Disassemble separates the current assembly into its component objects or assemblies.
Explode Assembly
The Explode command separates all objects in an assembly, regardless of the number of nested assemblies and/or groups, unlike Disassemble, which separates one level only.
Detach Assembly
The Detach command detaches the selected object from its assembly. If the object is a member of a nested assembly, after you detach it, it is no longer a member of any assembly.
Attach Assembly
The Attach command makes the selected object part of an existing assembly.
