/* Group Tool */
# The object selection is replaced with a single composite object with a new default name.
 
When you group two or more objects, a new object of composite type is created. You can open the property dialog of the composite object and access and edit its individual member objects. The '''Extract''' button of the composite dialog removes the selected object from the member list without deleting it from the project workspace, while the '''Delete''' button completely removes the selected object from the composite object as well as from the project workspace.
 
 
SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: In [[EM.Cube]], you can group only objects that belong to the same color group or material group. If you group an object with a composite object, it is added to the member list of the composite object. In other words, the composite object is expanded.
PYTHON COMMAND: group(label,object_1,object_2,...,object_n)
You can right-click on a composite to invoke the Composites Properties Dialog. This dialog allows you to scale the size of the composite. You can also edit or copy individual objects contained within the composite. The Extract Command removes the selected object from the group without deleting it from the scene, while the Delete command completely removes the selected object from the composite as well as the scene (C).
