Why can't I group both model, and details together and have them move as one? Why is it advantageous to have them move separately despite being grouped together? This is a really frustrating feature, but apparently some people like it. I'm not one of those people and have yet to find a single advantage to it. Is there a work-around?

When I am in group editing mode, I can only select the text. When I am out of the group editor, it won't let me move itLast edited by katewood1989; July 11, 2018, 08:32 PM.

The (attached) detail group, by definition, needs to "travel" with it's respective model group.
We use (attached) detail groups a lot; in our bathroom, kitchen (child) groups nested within our apartment (parent) groups, we have:
"rig" - i.e. linework
"dims" (various) different styles, different purposes, i.e. "dims_setout", "dims_marketing", "dims_overall", "dims_check", "dims_compliance"
"tags" (various) as above, calling out different things, i.e. "tags_room", "tags_FFE", etc
"fluff" - i.e. detail items for entourage (people & stuff)
