I've looked around but I am still ocnfused. I am trying to make a fan, I made the different blades and the cneter part but I dont know how to attach them all together so if I pick it up, it stays as one. I am sorry for the stupidest of stupd questions but I am stupid

So what your saying is, you made the fan and how u want to pick it up all at once... well just click a peace hold dont CTRL and then click the other peaces and now they should all be one... if you want to group them just right click and group.

I don't think grouping does anything for ingame connections.... I asume all the pieces are func_physbox ents? if so, just select them all and make it one entity. You could also connect the individual pieces together with phys_constraint ents, but the only benifit of that would be that you could then make it fly apart when you wanted.
