How to group geometries

Written by Holly Conrad Smith

To create a group, first select multiple geometries. Then, use one of the Group commands to create the group.

  • Click “Group” in the top left of the property palette

  • use hotkey ctrl + G

  • Use the command line and search "group"

  • Right click -> select group

  • Click the ... (more tools) button in the drawing toolbar, and select "Group"

Groups can't contain other groups. If your selection includes geometries that are already in a group, the property palette shows Ungroup instead of Group. Cmd/Ctrl + G and right-click → Group still work. They move those geometries out of their old group and into the new one.

Once the geometries are grouped, a Group Name is assigned in the top of the Property Palette.

Edit the name to be something descriptive.

Every group must have a unique group name.

Groups are defined via a special property called groupId. The Group Id is the unique group name you input in the property palette.
