Still WIP
Selected objects can be parented to the active object using the {{key press|Ctrl|P}} shortcut. A context menu gives the option of keeping the current transformation or not. The ''keep current transformation'' option maintains the selected objects' absolute position, scale, and orientation in the scene, and is generally the preferred option in this case.
{{Note|[[Image:Active_selection_example.jpg|right|100px]]When multiple objects are selected, the '''active''' object is highlighted in a lighter color and is usually the last object selected. In the example to the right, the mirror bracket, mirror head, and antenna are all selected, but the mirror bracket is the '''active''' object as indicated by its ''light'' orange outline. The set parent operation in this case would make the mirror head and antenna become children of the mirror bracket.}}

=== Clearing a Parent ===
Selected objects can also have their parents cleared, moving them to the root of the scene using {{key press|Alt|P}}. This operation also has the option between keeping the current transformation or not.
