Hi, I've got a really stupid problem with copyGroups from the copySOP, or just any other bunch of groups. I just can't figure out, how to get the primitives in to one group again. I need that for exporting.
I could use some help!

hi there,

have you seen the checkbox “Create Output Groups” within the CopySop?

regards,

That's the function I turned on because I make transformations with the groups. But now when I export with the ROP-Drive into one .obj I got every group as one object in the other software.

You can just delete all the groups before your ROP output driver by putting down a group sop, toggle Enable off, then in the Edit->Delete tab put * to remove all the groups. If you still want just 1 group with everything in it, don't toggle off the Enable toggle, give it a name, then in the delete parm put * ^mygroupname

try setting the outputgroup of the primitives to something like this:

mygroup_$NCY

that puts all your copied primitives into one group.
( $NCY = Number of copies, $CY=current copy )

Thank you very much Graham! Overlooked the edit-tab; I was stuck with the combine tab. Asnowcappedromance, thank you also for answering in a blink.
A lot of work is still ahead… 8)
