Add more features to a timeline group

josh_l — Fri, 15 Mar 2024 12:19:20 GMT

Hello,

I have a design with lots of features in the parametric timeline, most of which are in groups to make it manageable.

I often go back in time and insert some kind of feature at a particular point. Is there a way to add these new features to the END of an existing group without having to delete the group and then regroup the features with the new features included?

Here is a visual example:

Is there any way in Fusion to add the two highlighted features into the group immediately to their left, without having to delete that group and re-group? Ideally some kind of thing where I multi-select the group and the new components, then tell it to combine them?

Thanks,

Josh

Move the timeline into the last but one place in the group.

Add a plane as a placeholder it doesn't matter which type.

Move the last item in the group in front of the plane.

Any new items placed before the plane will be added to the group.

This is not very elegant, but it will work.

Thanks @billbedford , that’s a good idea. Lots of clicks but probably still less annoying than regrouping a long group of timeline features which involves horizontal scrolling etc.
