2. Enter a name for the group in the Group Name field.

3. Click the New< button in the Create Group area.The dialog box closes

temporarily.

4. Select the objects to be added to the group, and then press ↵ .

The Object Grouping dialog box reopens, and the group name
appears in the field at the top. Select the group name.

Clicking the Selectable but ton in the Change Group section ( not the
Selectable check box in the Create Group section) acts as a toggle that
causes the group members to react to selection picks as if they were not
members of a group. The Add< and Remove< buttons increase or decrease
the membership of the group, and Explode destroys the group, leaving its
member objects as individuals again.

(see Figure 7.29).
