# 3D Object Groups

***

Element features 5 independent 3D groups that allow you individual control over the replicator settings and the 3D models you specify. Once a model is added inside the scene setup, you have the ability to select an output channel. For example you might put a 3D logo into Group 1 and a concrete floor model on Group 2 so you can animate the parts individually.

### GROUP 1

The Soda Can is set to Group 1 giving you full control of the can and replication of the model.

### GROUP 2

The Concrete Floor is set to Group 2 by deselecting Group 1 and selecting Group 2. This allows the
\
floor to be controlled independently of the Soda Can.

### BOTH GROUPS TOGETHER IN THE COMPOSITION

In the Element 3D Effects inspector, the Soda Can and the Concrete Floor can now be modified
\
independently of one another.
