Creating two-way blends

Blending between two blends normally creates a multistage blend. However, by turning each of the blends into a group, you can create two-ways blends as shown.

1. Create two normal blends between two sets of objects (see Blending objects).

2. Select one of the blends (see Selecting objects).

3. From the Arrange menu, choose Group. This creates a group containing a single blend.

4. Do the same with the second blend.

5. Blend between the two groups.
