Groups

Groups are collections of models and other objects that are formally associated with one another.
These associations can be created in your 3D modeling software or with script. Each 3D cast
member has a default group called world, which is the cast member.
Groups simplify the rotation and translation of models by letting all members of a group move
together with a single command. A group has a name, a transform, and a parent, and can also
have children. It has no other properties.
The following cast member methods and properties can be used to perform basic
group operations:
Method
group.count
group(name)
group[index]
newGroup(name)
deleteGroup
(name)
deleteGroup
[index]
