Is there a way to move multiple objects simultaneously (object linking) in Shapr3D? For example, I designed a three-section drawer slide, which consists of three objects. Currently, I have to select each part from the list every time I want to move the entire assembly, which is very inconvenient.

No such thing as connection between objects in Shapr3D for now.

Only thing I can suggest is to sort your objects in folders so you can select one folder instead of several objects one by one.

Maybe you just want to group it in a folder. But are you talking about a Parent Child relationship or configurations of objects? Where you modify 1 object that moves everything else? It’s kinda possible currently with variables and proper constraint setup.

That works for moving and resizing, but operations like Align will not work with multiple objects. We need a component feature like in Fusion to be able to do that.

Align tool works with multiple objects easily 🙂

Aren’t constraint relationships only applicable to lines? Or is it that I just haven’t found the correct way to use them?​

Here is an example, I’m working on a table so currently I’m setting variables.

If the table is in a room and you can move it around too.
