I have skeleton which control parts and I have placed large amount parts of according to skeleton. Is there any way I could make sub assembly to these parts easily? Parts would still refer to same skeleton. In model tree that would seem like this:

From:
ASSEMBLY
-SKELETON
-PART1
-PART2
-PART3

To:
ASSEMBLY
-SKELETON
-SUB_ASSEMBLY
--PART1
--PART2
--PART3

Regard,
Peter

You can crete sub-assembly with insert mode and use restructure to move parts from main assembly into sub-assembly.
 
Thank you for reply but is there any way to move many parts at once? I have a big assembly and it is frustrating to move parts one by one.
 
It's been a while since I've used restructure but doesn't it support moving multiple components in one command?
