Grouping

Grouping combines multiple objects into a single unit that can be moved, copied, and operated on as one object. Unlike Combine, grouping does not merge the geometry – each object remains separate inside the group.

How to Use

Grouping Objects

1. Select two or more objects (Shift-click or Ctrl-click to multi-select)
2. Click the Group button in the toolbar
3. The objects are now grouped – they move together as one unit

Ungrouping Objects

1. Select a group
2. Click the Ungroup button in the toolbar
3. 
4. The individual objects are restored as separate items

Ungrouping also attempts to separate multiple bodies within a single imported STL file, if present.

Group vs. Combine

Feature	Group	Combine
Objects remain separate	Yes	No
Can ungroup later	Yes	No (destructive)
Merges overlapping geometry	No	Yes
Objects can have different colors	Yes	Colors preserved per-face
Use case	Organization and movement	Creating single solid shapes

Tips

• Groups can be nested – you can group objects that are already in groups
• Select a group and look at the Design Tree to see and select individual objects within it
• Grouping is non-destructive and can always be reversed with Ungroup
