Wondering how to put one component in more than one group...

[jonYDM8U]

Imagine you're using 360 to design a floor plan for your home automation interface.  

You create your layout and extrude your walls and create a foundation and a floor.

You have 2 actual components (floor and walls), and various conceptual ways to group the elements of the structure.

I can hide, select, etc., the floor component, or I can hide, select, etc., the walls component.

What if I wanted to segment one bedroom from another and hide everything else.  Since the floor is a component and the walls are a component, how could I "highlight" just an area of a component?

Or, what if I wanted to show only the electrical wires for one bedroom now.

Or let's say I wanted to select only the electrical circuits that power lights and not the power outlets, but just for one room?

Not sure how to organize the components to achieve this goal.  Thoughts?

Hi,

You arrange your components so that you can show or hide them according to the criteria you have selected.
To do this you must first create structure charts.
For example, the component "Rooms" contains the workroom. This includes several components (floor, cables, sockets, lamps, switches ...). Or look at it from the Installation page. In this component there are (cables, circuits, lamps ...) again in sub-components (study, kitchen, ...)

I understand the concept, but I don't know how to apply it in fusion360.
