Hi there, welcome to groups in this video.
I'm going to show you how to deal with groups, how to organize your groups.
We are going to go from a single layer to as many, many shapes, parv and ellipses and Bompard all
put in a single year.
And we are going to organize them in certain groups where it becomes very clear what is what.
Let's start now the first thing you notice that when you create any document, you come to layers,
there is always a layer on top.
This is the main layer or the first that I would say that is created and all your work goes into layers.
Now, obviously, if you don't create another layer, it's going to go inside a single layer.
We are seeing details about layers in the next lecture for now, want to focus on groups so not out
at work yet.
If I select, for example, the background, the blue background here, I simply click on it.
You will notice that there is something here.
The square has appeared, a green one.
You selected something in this letter.
If I click on the arrow, I will open the letter.
I can see everything inside the letter pretty obvious.
And you notice at the bottom here, there is the background here to this.
Not that I clicked on the background, but the background is not selected to select an object from layers
here, you have to click on this circle here.
So now it's selected.
I'm going to lock it and then put it off for now, you can see the selection, this small rectangle
I will be doing.
The way to select anything, for example, you want to select this ellipse, you know what it is, at
least you click on it and, you know, notice is selected over here or you can select something from
here and you notice it is selected over here to select from here.
This is not a selection.
This is a selection.
And it's obvious because when you click just here, you don't select anything, not notice.
Nothing is selected, but you have to click on the circle to have it selected.
Let's start with the clouds now, we have here some clouds and we want to select them all before we
go there, you notice that this banning box is green.
Now, if you don't like it, you can change its color.
You can change the color from the layer.
Let's go to the layer this the air above and click on the square artwork here.
And their options will open for you.
You can scroll down, arrow and decide which color you want to use.
I'm going to go for dark green and click, OK?
I hope you see it better now.
Doesn't look like the dark green, but I know you can see it well.
I selected the first one I'm going to put to shift and select the second one and another one and all
the rest.
Now, if I come to my lair, here is going to tell, hey, you selected something from this there.
You can see it from over here.
I'll turn now and go and see what did I select.
These are component.
Now, it's very nice to have the clouds like this, but I need to group them and give them a name like
clouds.
The way to do that is very easy.
You got to object and you go to group and the shortcut is command or control.
So I'm going to go for Manjit on my map.
And they have been grouped.
Now they are selected.
If I come over here and I have now a group.
I can double click on the group and rename it Clouts.
As simple as this, so now at least I know that I have the clouds in one group, if I want to select
all the clouds, I can come to the clouds.
A group selected.
Now, I selected all of them.
Let's do the same for the others when I select the Butterfly.
Now, notice it selected also the clouds, since the Clouds is a group I can shift and deselect.
One click to select and shift, one click to select or select.
So now I have only the butterfly I can right, click on the Butterfly and Go group.
Here it is.
Now it's clear something I don't know what it is, I'm going to look for it, it's over here.
This is my group, so I'm going to call it butterfly one.
They do the same for the butterfly, too.
I'm going to select it just like this, and in case you select something wrong, you know, selected,
this was it.
You can shift and select these select again.
You know, it's selected when it has the color of the layer.
Doesn't matter how much I assume it will always stay very thin.
And the trick sometimes I use is to press the command key.
And she's is going to show me all the anchor points.
You know, obviously this is selected.
So the way to the selected now is to shift and select.
I have the butterfly.
I can right click on an element and an object in the butterfly and say group and it's over here.
You're not selected.
I can double click on it and call it butterfly.
Once the butterfly won, I can just click on it, he resurrected the whole group and he resurrected
the whole group.
Now I want to select this waves here.
Well, I'm going to go just like this.
And obviously, I did the wrong selection.
I selected even the butterflies.
Not good.
I'm going to do it again.
So don't try to do, like, precision if it doesn't work.
Just deselected now.
Selected all these lines, this Wavves ensemble.
Also, I selected the monster here.
I need to select the monster since I want to select all the monster or have to do is to shift and select
the monster.
Here you are now how do you know who selected the komansky.
You notice.
OK and see other things here deselected.
That's one way.
Another way I like to do also to make 100 percent sure is to press control X or comment X on the PC
and delete them.
Wow.
Then I don't do Contrave.
Of course not.
I do control Z or Z on the mark and they come back.
But I'm sure of what I've selected.
I'm gonna right.
Click on one of them here and I go to group or I could press control.
Here they are.
They are selected now.
Where are they.
This is the group to check.
I put it off.
Put it on.
Yes.
This is exactly what I wanted in this group.
Got a double click over here and call it.
For example, Wavves.
Now I have my little monster here, I'm going to select all my master, in fact, I'm going to start
zooming in.
Here you are.
Where is it?
How do I know I selected Aldermen's?
I'm going to come over here, it's not very visible.
I'm going to change the color here from darkling to maybe orange.
Let's see if it's going to work.
Could have turned down and selected the orange from here and click, OK, now that's better.
So now I can see exactly what is selected here.
We can right click and say group.
And call it Mr. Monster.
Where is it?
So it's going to be here, I can see the thumbnail is nice.
I call it monster.
Good, I misspelled monster.
I have my artwork, but yet I want to change the colors of the eyes or actually I want to group the
eyes because I want to move them around to edit the group, you come to the group anywhere and you double
click on one of them.
So not just now.
You are what we call in the isolation mode.
So it has isolated the group from all other artwork.
So you not this one is bright colors, the others are faded.
It means you are inside this group.
You are in isolation mode for this group to select it and then press comment plus to zoom in.
And now I'm inside the group because I'm inside the group.
I can select anything inside this group.
Not so.
So I don't have to Double-Click anymore.
Doesn't matter.
I can select inside the group because I'm in the isolation mode for this group.
I'm going to select the eyes and of course I'm going to select the body and either here, it seems been
selected.
So now I'm sure I selected only the eyes.
I move them.
Yes, I selected them.
I want to group these eyes so I will right.
Click and go group or use the shortcut.
So now in other cities, I just here I'm going to click on one of them, make sure it's there.
Double click and say monster eyes.
Now, I have a subgroup now notice inside the muscle group, I have a subgroup called Eyes, if I go
out completely out from the document, notice I'm outside completely.
I'm going to select the upper group and their control, plus go inside and then I'm going to double
click inside.
So now I selected the subgroup, the eyes to change the color.
Here I will double click inside.
So now I'm inside the masteries group and the muscle group in the main artwork.
I'm on two levels, so now the isolation mode is on the Monster Ice Group.
I can change the colors here, do what I want.
As soon as I'm at this level, I can select any one of them at this level to exit.
You can come to the arrow.
You.
Click the arrow several times it exits, but better yet, I prefer this is the first click, second
click, double clicking.
So I'm inside now.
The best way is to come somewhere blank and double click outside your exit.
Old doesn't take much.
Now, the order here is very important.
I have a group over here or anything.
If you like, you can take the monster eyes and drop it under, for example, a spot on the bottom.
It disappears.
So now they are of course not in the right order.
So whatever is on top will be seen on top.
Whatever is on bottom will be seen on bottom.
I think this is obvious for you guys.
OK, so I put them up here.
Now, we have organized our file in very nice ways, let's put on the background.
At the level of the layer, you noticed that butterfly one, this butterfly is on top.
I can put it on bottom if I want to, just by clicking and dragging it inside.
Be careful not to click and drag inside here.
So now you have a group under a group.
And if you did this mistake just selected from here.
And click and drag and pick it up here.
So now you separated the groups.
You can manipulate your way, so this is all about groups, it's very easy.
You need to come and play with it.
But now our artwork is quite organized and recovered.
In the next video, I want to show you about layers, and it's even easier than this.
