The movement axes can be customized in the main toolbar:
•
View: the axes are aligned with the current view.
• Group: the axes are aligned with the group the Object is in.
• Object: the axes are aligned with the Object. When the Object rotates, the axes will rotate as well.
Example 3D Box with the X, Y and Z-movement axes aligned with the Object.
6.18 Layering Objects
The Objects window lists all Objects in a Project or Template. Each Object is placed on its own layer.
Objects on higher layers overlap Objects on lower layers. To change, drag Objects into the appropriate
order, or use the Arrow icons.
6.19 Grouping Objects
Objects can be grouped, so they can be modified and animated as a group. To group objects:
 Select the Object you want to group, either by [CTRL/CMD]+clicking them in the Objects window,
or by drawing a selection with the cursor around the relevant Objects on the Stage.
 On the main menu select Objects > Group, or on the Stage right-click the selection > Group.
 You can open the group to edit individual Objects within the group: Objects > Open Group, or on
the Stage right-click the group > Open Group. When finished, close the group.
 To ungroup Objects: Objects > Ungroup, or on the Stage right-click the group > Ungroup.
6.20 Locking Objects
Lock Objects to prevent unwanted selection, or to protect the Object from being selected and modified
accidently.
To lock or unlock Objects, in the Objects window or on the Template Timeline, select
the Object. Then click the Lock icon.
