Group Instances

Groups are covered fully here: Grouping and Parenting.

If a group already exists in the scene, an instance of one of those groups can be created from the Add menu under add » group instance » group.

These group proxies are controlled/owned by an additional empty object, and hence are not editable (i.e. have no Edit mode) – in fact, they behave a bit as if all object copies of the group were children of the empty). So you have all the editing options of objects (you can move/scale/rotate them, etc.).

Groups and Metas There seems to be a bug with Meta objects in group proxies: their meshes are invisible; only the circles are drawn…

Visualization

Group “proxies” are drawn in black (unless Solid or Shaded draw mode, of course). The selection of “real” members of the group is reflected in their “proxies”. When the proxy itself is selected, the empty turns pink, and the other parts, purple.

The only options of these “group proxies” are the same as the ones for empties visualization.
