Selecting Hierarchies in Blender

Blender has a few methods (that I know of) to select complete hierarchies in the Outliner. I go over them really quick in this Blender Quick Tip. BTW...it is Ctrl+LMB on the parent object in the Outliner, for those without the time or patience to watch the video.

I'm using Blender 4.2 and only DOUBLE clicking the parent does the trick. Didn't find this on the web but after a long time by pure accident. Lucky me!

Thank you, bro. Much appreciated.

So, just to be sure because I might be confusing myself on my project: Would each INDIVIDUAL cube be considered an instance of "empty", or would each GROUP of cubes be considered an instance for "empty"?

I'm sitting here following a hello world for armory3d and it just acts like I know where buttons are and what things are called in blender. Thanks for posting

I have multiple object, each object have 3 level hierarchies. each object is a small object which and scattered around the scene so is hard to select them on viewport. Now how do I fast select them all including their hierarchy from the list ? I tried select them using Shift but when I right klick and select hierarchy only the active object is selected with the hierarchy all the other object I multiple selected before is automatically unselected. The only way I found is to open each level of the hierarchy from each object then I shift select them all. But opening each hierarchy is taking too long.

Thx for the info, I was very frustrated with Blender not selecting all child objects automatically, so when I start to move an object I move only one part of the whole object. This clears it much.

I've watched 4 or 5 of these short tip videos of yours and they are excellent. Kind of like video cheat sheets. Lots of blender tuts cover a lot of material in a single video and it can be hard to find a specific technique. By keeping them short and single-subject, these videos solve that problem nicely. Thanks a lot!
