I have about 50 objects I want to have in 3 different collections. How do I do this quickly without having to do this individually for each object? So for example I have 50 cubes and I have collection1, collection2 and collection3. How do I set them all at once to be on those 3 collections?

Select all your cubes (if your cubes share the same mesh you can select them with ShiftL (Select Similar) > Object Data), then to put them in a collection press M, and to put them in another collection as well, press ShiftM (Link to Collection) and choose or create the collection, and so on for the other collections. The objects will be shared by these collections.

If you select an object and press X it will be deleted from all the collections. If you select it in a collection in the Outliner and right click > Unlink, it will only be removed from this collection.

  • Thanks! I knew of m but didn't think of shift-m. Linking to collection sounded something different than I previously thought but now I know better. – postguest Mar 26 '22 at 11:58
