Grouping and Help

[Anonymous]

HI all. Our firm has very recently upgraded to ArchiCAD. We are still getting used to it, and therefore have a few questions. It is very likely that they are quite basic and obvious. Here goes:

1)Why does the 'Group" function not allow all objects within the group to be selected when one object is selected?

2)And why does my 'Help' file not open in Internet Explorer, but in Word!?

Thanks for any advice, hints, etc. Slowly, but surely we are gettiing used to this program. 🙂

EDIT: found them! Suspend Groups, and the help file had been re-mapped by someone/thing.

Welcome to the forum.

1. I suspect your grouping is suspended - look for an icon that looks like the ones in the image below (depending on how you have you work environment / tool bars etc. set up), or go to Edit> Grouping and deselect "suspend grouping", Alt+G by default.

2. Never heard of that before.

A tip: Add you AC version and machine specs to your signature in your profile.
