Modelling part 2 grouping

For the next part of the exercise we had to group different shapes into groups. We started by creating four different shapes. I made a tube, box,cone and a sphere. i then grouped the shapes in groups of twos, hers is a screen shot of the group name

after having created two different groups, I then made a new group and i called it all shapes. when i ungrouped the all shapes, it all collapsed down to the two groups. i regrouped all shapes and took a screen shot(below)

the nexte part of the exercise was to use align to stack the shapes in a given order. i used the align tool to position all the shapes into their right places. when i finished. i also found that if i used the scale tool, i could find align them properly on the edges. this tasked helped me to understand all the different view modes in 3d max, as i could see all the changes in all the screens when i moved and object. i used grouping to make the shapes into one so i could move them all around without messing up the alignment. I enjoyed this exercise, as now i feel i understand how the program works. the screen shot below shows the stack.
