use Ctrl + P to parenting
use Ctrl + L to joining
it seems like that joining will inherit transformation as well as texture ,whereas parenting only inherit transformation
just wondering what's the main difference between these two ? and is there any thing that i should pay attention to ?
Thank you

When Parenting, you will keep the seperate Objects, but when you Transform the Parent, the Child(ren) Transform(s) along.
