This dialog allows you to place the selected objects in a existing VisGroup, or make an new VisGroup to contain the selection. Visibility Groups, or VisGroups, are a way to group objects in layers to organize and manipulate them. The primary purpose for VisGroups is to hide pre-defined sets of objects for speed and organizational reasons. For more information on VisGroups, see Grouping and VisGrouping.
