Abstract
Aspects of the technology described herein provide a control interface for manipulating a 3-D graphical object within a virtual drawing space. The control can automatically group objects together for common manipulation. The control can take the form of a scaled representation of a group of objects located outside of the primary drawing space. Moving the representation then moves the objects.
