# [name]

This is almost identical to an [page:Object3D Object3D]. Its purpose is to make working with groups of objects syntactically clearer.

## Example

`var geometry = new THREE.BoxBufferGeometry( 1, 1, 1 ); var material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial( {color: 0x00ff00} ); var cubeA = new THREE.Mesh( geometry, material ); cubeA.position.set( 100, 100, 0 ); var cubeB = new THREE.Mesh( geometry, material ); cubeB.position.set( -100, -100, 0 ); //create a group and add the two cubes //These cubes can now be rotated / scaled etc as a group var group = new THREE.Group(); group.add( cubeA ); group.add( cubeB ); scene.add( group );`
