Question about constructing a bogie

Hi,

I did the build an engine tutorial. I made the bogie and linked the wheels to it. No problem. But...

What happens when you have more than one element that makes up the bogie? How do you go about making sure the rest of the parts of the bogie go with it?

Is it in the naming convention?

I dont want to "attach" the parts to the main bogie object, do i?

Anyone?

Im using 3dsmax.

Thanks,
Rich
