Keeping things organized is key when it comes to working on a large project.

I was working with another Animation package on a big project that had many assets. All the assets were created according to the physical scale and built. The project had many scenes, I started organizing it by naming mesh and grouping them for easier selection and to have a better workflow.

As I kept working on the project, I started to think, how would I approach this in Blender.

Turns out it is easier than I thought it would be.

To group mesh, you need to select the object,

Then go into Object > Group > Create New Group

This will group the mesh, It will be named "Group". The selection around the mesh should have turned green.

blender_single_cube_grouped_close_up

The Outliner does not show the group, by default it is set to show "All Scene".

blender_cube_grouped

Switching to "Groups" using the drop down.

blender_outliner_droup_down

blender_outliner_showing_groups

Now when you can select the group in the Outliner, and it will select all the mesh that is inside the group.

Thank you for reading,
