Subtitles of the Movie

In this movie we will talk about the Attach, Detach, and the Explode commands under Group. For example in this scene these chain links are in a group. For example this is called Chain. That's a group. Chain1, Chain3, and Chain2. But this piece over here, which is called Hedra, is not in any group. So, let's say if I wanted to attach this piece to one of the groups. Let's say in this case the Chain group. The way I can do that is, select the piece, go to Group, Attach, and then simply click on whichever group I want to attach it to. So I'm going to click on this one. And now you can see it's in one group. So, if I select this now, the Hedra is in the Chain group. If I want to detach it, or take it out from this group, all I need to do is go back to Group, say Open, select this object, and say Group, Detach. And then go back to this one and say Group, Close. So right now this is a single object by itself, and this is the group again. What if I selected this group, this one, this one, and this one Ð all four of them Ð and what if I made them into one master group? So, let's go to Group, Group, and let's call this MASTER. So right now, they're in one master group so I can move them together. If I go to my Schematic View again you'll see that this is the MASTER group right here, and then just below that, if I move this up, I have the Chain2 and I have the Chain1, Chain3 in this case, and this is Chain1, and then Chain. So everything is under that one MASTER group, right there. Now if I want to get rid of these groups right here Ð and my object kind of moved over here a little, but that's okay Ð I can go to Group, Open, and then go back over here and say Group, Detach. That will just detach that one piece. So for example, these three are still in that MASTER group. So I can go to Group, Close again. So that's a separate piece but these three are still in that one MASTER group. But if I go to Group, Explode and if I do that, here's what's going to happen. It's not only going to get rid of the MASTER group for me, but also the groups below that, the chain links group that I made, Chain1, Chain2, Chain3 and so on. So these are back to the original state now, Chain. If I go back to my Schematic View, look at this. The Chain3 is the only group that's there, which was this guy. But all the others are no longer in even the Chain groups, and obviously the MASTER group is gone as well. So that's what the Explode does for you right there.
