If there isn't a finished example, then the next movie in the sequence is the end state. So in other words, the end state for 0308 layer is the begin state for 0309 desk. Okay, so that's how the sequencing works here. And additionally, there's another folder inside scenes. And these are Xrefs, or external references, and these are here to save disk space.

Those are two radii. The Strength radius and the Falloff radius. It's easiest just to control those from the keyboard shortcuts. Hold down Ctrl and drag up and down to increase the Falloff.

And that influence will diminish to zero when we reach the Falloff radius, or the dashed line. You can see it in effect if you just simply click and drag. And anything that was within that Strength radius moved as a unit.
