Groups, components, and the Outliner window
- [Instructor] So we've already covered a little bit about components and how they're made and how they're saved. In this exercise, we're looking at in particular the Outliner, which is one of the most overlooked aspects of the software. When your models get far more complicated, this thing comes into its own. It's something that everyone should be using all the time. It's a great way to organize the geometry inside the model. So I'm just going to show you a couple subtle differences between nesting a group maybe inside a component, or certainly something inside a component, and nesting something inside a group and see the difference between those two things. So this is the furniture that we had in Chapter 2. I'm just going to use this as an example. And what I've done is created a little leaf. This is a group. Now the leaf is sitting inside this whole thing, groups and components, whereas this thing is sitting outside. That really doesn't make any difference to the way this works…
