Grouping & Ungrouping Objects

When working with a large number of objects, it is often useful to group them into a single object to make them easier to select and move. For example, once you're happy with a group of plants, you might want to combine them into a group and focus on other areas of your landscape.

To group a set of objects:

1.   Select the objects you want to group.

2.   Right-click and select Group from the popup menu.

To ungroup a set of objects:

1.   Select the objects you want to ungroup.

2.   Right-click and select Ungroup from the popup menu.

The following example shows three objects before they are grouped.

Here are the same objects after using the Group command.

Tips:

•      Groups can be nested to any level. In other words, you can create a group that contains other groups.

•      You cannot edit the properties of objects inside a group; you must ungroup them first.

•      The house, pond, deck, and landscape wizards use groups to make it easier for you to place the objects they create.
