    Creating Groups

    In this lesson, you learn how to use model groups to collect related elements to simplify placement of repetitive units.
    Examples of the types of units for which groups are intended include hotel rooms, classrooms, and typical office layouts.
    After you create a model group, you can place instances of the group in the building model using various methods.
    You can also update all instances of a group in the building model by editing a single instance of the group and saving
    the changes.

    Creating a Group
    In this exercise, you create a model group for a typical hotel room. You create the group by selecting drawing objects
    and grouping them as a single entity.
    Dataset

    ■ On the File menu, click Open.
