Hello,
I have many groups which group some small elements togather into a combined bingger element, and want to name this big element.

Archicad has no concept of naming things.
You can give your elements the same ID, tho.

Just as a note:
Groups have no geometrical or logical implications whatsoever in Archicad. It's merely a help for selecting things.

If you want to explicitely name things you could also use named selections as a workaround.
