| In my example animation I am going to do a simple animation of an aircrafts yoke and column. There are four parts here, two of which are the visible geometry and two are small boxes hidden inside the visible geometry. |
| The first thing I have done is to be sure all of my objects pivot points are aligned to the world, XForm Reset and stacks collapsed as I explained in the Basic Aircraft Animations tutorial. |
With the Yoke selected, click on the Link 
icon. |
Next click on the Select by Name 
icon. |
| Select the lever_stick_l_r object from the list in the Select Parent window and click on the Link button. |

IMPORTANT!!! Click off the Link icon. Next click on the Select by Name |
