Editing Elements in Groups

You can group elements in a project or family and then place that group many times in a project or family.
Grouping elements is useful when you need to create entities that represent repeating layouts or are common
to many building projects (for example, hotel rooms, apartments, or repeating floors).
With each instance of a group that you place, there is associativity among them. For example, you create a
group with a bed, walls, and window and then place multiple instances of the group in your project. If you
modify a wall in one group, it changes for all instances of that group. This makes modifying your building
model much easier because you can change several instances of a group in one operation.
You can create the following types of groups:
Model groups, which can contain model elements.
