ARCHICAD group within a group

Anonymous
Not applicable
I know ARCHICAD is capable of making groups within a group, but is there a way to "drill down" into a group whilst suspend grouping is off?

E.g. I have three rectangles, A, B, and C.

I make A & B into a group (Group 1). Then, i make Group 1 and C into a group (Group 2). So Group 1 is inside Group 2.

Is there a way to move Group 1 "inside" of Group 2 without the rest of Group 2 (i.e. rectangle C) being moved?

For those who have used SketchUp or Vectorworks, one would be able to "drill down" into groups within groups easily and manipulate groups within groups independent of objects "outside" of its group, despite it being inside the same group, if you know what I mean.

Hopefully I've made sense.

That and component editing are the main things I miss from Sketchup...

No.
When you suspend groups, it will suspend all groups right back to the base elements, even for groups within groups.

The only way to do it is to actually un-group back to the point where you can move the group you want, and then re-create the groups you undid.
