There is no way to combine objects into 1 object in Alice 2. But there are some things you can do for a similar effect. If you want to access all the parts of the road in a program, then putting them in a list and using one of the list loop structures is the
way to go. If you want to be able to move them all together, you can create a dummy object (or some other object that is easier to grab), and set the vehicle property of all the road pieces to the dummy object. Then when you move the dummy object, the whole
road will go with it.

</div>
<div class="">Now that I think about, if you combine these two approaches, you are essentially combining objects into 1 object. You can make the list of roads a property of the dummy object. I’m attaching a screenshot that shows an example. In my example, the
vehicle property of the road pieces is set to the road sign.<br class="">
