Description

Std Group (internally called App DocumentObjectGroup) is a general purpose container that allows you to group different types of object in the tree view, regardless of their data type. It is used to organize the structure of your model.

Use

  1. Right-click on the name of your FreeCAD document in the tree-view and choose Create group.
  2. A group will be created automatically and give the icon of a directory and an automatically chosen name.
  3. You can rename the group by right-clicking on the group and choosing Rename or pressing F2 on your keyboard.
  4. Push FreeCAD objects into the group or pull them out of the group by dragging and dropping the desired objects
