Groups

New group

In MakerSCAD , you can group objects by declaring group variables, to do this, you can use the “Create Group” block

First go to “Variables” and select the “var” block, then go to the “Tools” section and select a “Create Group” block, snap the new group to the variable

Object add

When you declare a variable as a group, you can use a special block called “Create group”.

in the previous section, we created a variable as a group, now go to tools and select the block that says “group.add” Change the word “group” for the name you used in your variable and snap a new part to it, for this example we will use a torus.

Now add another “create group” block, use the same variable name you declared before, snap a sphere to it.

finally add the variable to the scene with a “scene.add” block, remember that you have to snap a “var” block to it

New Group

MakerSCAD also has a special block called “new group” that can be used to abreviate the steps in the past sections,find this block in CAD - Groups. Note that it has a plus and a minus buttons, you can use them to add or remove objects, so, you can snap as many objects as you need.
