Managing "position" of group in tree view

Post by ragohix769 »

It's there a method to change the "position" of a group in the tree view (in Arch/BIM/Draft WB)?

With ArchWB i see that I can cut/paste objects in some group, but if I want to change the "order" (so the position in the tree) of all groups, it's that possible?

Not sure if there is proper way of doing this.

I remember I drag something into a group and drag it back out to make it in the last position of the queue :D

Would like to know any better way of doing this.

Yes me too. It's not so easy to manage assets (especially when you have a lot of items) on the group tree view, when you cannot chose the order.

At least in Arch, and only in Arch as I see, you can "move" assets from one group to another, that's a workaround to have some order. I don't understand why it's not possibile with BIMwb.
