About Groups

A group is a collection of faces, shapes, or faces and shapes that behave like a single unit. You can include groups in other groups.

This feature is particularly useful when adding 3D dimensions or moving geometry.

Note: You can only group items located in the same Natural Shape feature.

You can group faces, shapes, or faces and shapes. Faces can be adjacent or independent, on the same shape or on different shapes. The group box is displayed in black dotted lines.

To create a Group:

  1. Using the mouse, select the faces and/or shapes to be grouped by highlighting them; when the mouse is released, they become highlighted in blue.
  2. Click Group in the Advanced section of the action bar.

To edit a group and add or remove faces, double-click it.

You can group all shapes in the same Natural Shape feature. If you create more shapes, the group expands to include new shapes. The group box is displayed in white dotted lines.

If you create a new shape, the group expands.



To dissolve a group, select the group and in the action toolbar, click Ungroup. Alternatively, right-click the group and select Ungroup.
