Is there a way to group entities in v6.1?
Thanks

Re: Grouping
Hi Peter
There are no group notion per se. DGK is using an empty entity to group its children. Empty means without a geometry. IEntity_DG.GetGeometry() returns null in the case. These come, for an example, from IModel_DG.AddNewEntity(). It can also have a non-null but empty geometry. Like a mesh without any simplices.
It does not really have to be empty. So, you could also group by making one object the parent of the others.
To do it a runtime in model explorer (right-click menu) make the group object current and use select and Action>Add to Cur menu command.
We are planning to add a "group" object to "new standard object" option in model explorer soon. Thanks for reminding
Regards
