I have a multi-object structure (parents and children). In the Outliner, if I select objects and move them to a collection, it will move the object but NOT the child. So I have to select the hierarchy before moving to a collection. But I have multiple objects with their own children. How can I select the parents and select their hierarchies? I can only select a hierarchy for a single object. So to move multiple object with children to a collection I have to repeat the process for each of those parents.

Am I missing something?

You can select all the parents that you wanna move and then go to Select > Select More / Less > Extend to children. Or Shift + ]Shift+]:

enter image description here

Hope that helps.

  • $\begingroup$ 2.83.4 I have the option, make sure is in object mode, other than that, not sure why you don't have it. It's in the manual docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/scene_layout/object/… $\endgroup$
