add geometry to an existing group

[pasto]

Hello,

 

I guess it is quite basic but I can't find a way to add some primitives to an already existing primitive group.

I simply have some countries in a group then I want to add some others in the same group.

Many thanx.

In the same group node e.g. you can just type in the primitive numbers you want to attach to your group. If you use another group sop just use the same name and set Merge Operation to "Union With Existing" to merge them to the existing group.

Thanks a lot Jon,

But I meant to add some manually selected primitives, (when there is a lot of course.)

You really have to add another group node ?

many thx.

ah...can you try "reselect for current tool" you find that via right mouse button on the selection tool on the left side. Make sure that you have selected your group node. Hit enter in the viewport and select "reselect for current tool"......should work.

Select group node, press Enter in the viewport and press tilda (~ key above Tab). This will invoke group's "Reselect" tool. It really should be complemented with convenient arrow button.

Thx a lot,

 

My tilda key is not directly accessible so it doesn't work. Too bad, many thanx anyway.

oh sorry "reselect for current tool" is accessible by right cliquing the arrow, thx !!

Yes thank you Jonathan, very helpful.
