Group creation and coloring

Create group

There are four ways to create a group: 

• Press Create > Group in the menu bar. 
• Click the icon  in the toolbar.
• Right-click in the Object List and select Group from the context menu. 
• Press CTRL+G. 

Group color 

A group acts as a layer for CAD objects. 

There are two ways to change the color of groups: 

• Set the default color of groups in the scene through the Layer color property under Preferences > CAD .
• Change the color of selected groups by using the color box next to it in the Object List. Once the color of a group has been changed this way, subsequently editing the Layer color property will not affect this group.
