If I have a complex link set. How do I make a specific prim the root prim? I know if I shift-select, the last prim selected will be the root prim, but on a complex set this can be a pain. I would rather use the yellow box thing. Is there a way to do this and choose the root prim?

Thanks.

Select the entire set using the yellow box, then unselect the single prim you want as root using shift-select, then reselect it, and... link!

That's a bit of logic that escaped me.... Thankyou

I tend to plan where my root prim is gonna be, but the rule of thumb is, the root prim is the last prim you link in a group set. The other method mentioned works too but sometimes I end up unlinking the whole thing...LOL
