Models are container objects, they hold objects and are used for grouping different objects together for organization purposes.
Models are what are created when you Group parts together. They allow you to move all of the bricks at the same time when dragging, which is really useful for building complex structures. They also help other people understand how you're building an object, or what it's made up out of.
When a Humanoid and a Part(named "Head") are parented under a model, a name-tag GUI will appear with the name of the model. BreakJoints( )

| Name
| |
| Type | string |
| Description | The name of the object, which is often used to identify it in the context of its parent. Note that names are not unique identifiers; multiple children of an object may share the same name. In a script where you want to access an object using a name, for example, game.Workspace["Brick"], the first object found with that name is that object. This "first object" can be found in the Explorer menu.Names are great for showing a very brief title or summary of an object. |
| Member of | Instance |
| Parent
| |
| Type | Instance |
| Description | The hierarchical parent of the object. When no scripts hold references to an object, it will still be maintained as long as it's parent is set to an object which does have references to it, either by other objects or scripts. The toplevel DataModel object (the one referred to as the "game" by scripts) has no parent, but always has a reference held to it by the game engine, and exists for the duration of a session. |
