    @waylow @theluthier I may have found a bug. 

    I’m trying to understand Instancing and I’ve notice you can’t use a mesh to instance, so unlucky me,  since that is exactly what I’m trying to achieve, to have a mesh instance a collection.

    The thing is, this Cube is in Collection 2 and when I select it, in the Instancing Menu Collection is not there.

    How ever if I select an empty, Collection appears in the Instancing Menu…

    Which freaking sucks because in the Heli file I had meshes as instances, not empties. No I can’t convert the meshes that are in places into their respective instances.

    So anyways, since the Cube is in Collection 2, I select the Empty, select Collection and find Collection 2, and now the empty is instancing the cube.

    If I tick off “Display Instancer” (which only is supposed to hide the empty) and try to select the instanced cube, blender goes crazy and for some reason starts selecting the camera and the instance cube gets lots in the ether.
