Grouped objects - Adding/Removing objects to a group

If you're worried about Animations:
Select your existing animated group (from now on called old group). Group it up with the elements you want to add in. Use Animation Painter to copy the Animations from the old group to the recently created one. Ungroup old group.

If you're worried about Triggers:
These won't disappear until you ungroup old group. Change the components of your trigger on Trigger View to point to your new group, and only after that ungroup old group.

Sorry for resuscitating an old thread, but thought it might be worth sharing.

No need to apologize Pablo, it's always good to share those ideas here in case someone comes across this discussion and needs more help! 

That's definitely a cool idea Dennis and I'd love to have you share it with our Product team as well by submitting a Feature request here! Thanks!

Hi,

I want to know how to make group disappear and then appear when the user clicks the button 

thanks

Hi Ahmed, 

Do you have a sample of your file or course that you'd be able to share? That would help us work in your set up to offer some advice! 

Also, welcome to the E-Learning Heroes community! 

Hello Ahmed and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

Great question. Have you considered utilizing states to hide the objects when clicking a button? 

If you need us to take a look at something to understand your need, feel free to share your .story file.

This would be very helpful for me as well.  I have transition triggers set on my groups, and, when I ungroup, I have to redefine the trigger, the transition, and my settings for the transition.  Thank you.  I'll put in a feature request as well.

Thanks Ron for sending in the feature request and posting here. It's always helpful to know more about what would help you easily create courses. In case you're curious how feature requests become features - take a look at this article! 

Hello all! This is my first time posting in any of the forums but I am so excited I just can't hide it.  I sat here for 3 hours reading threads and testing a template I am using from this site to add a video to an existing group without losing all the triggers.  I had the same issue after reading and trying the different ideas shared on these threads. I figured out the "workaround" to the missing feature to copy and paste or move elements freely in and out of existing groups without losing your triggers!

Here is how I was able to do it (thanks to combining various tips I read on this thread). 

1. I opened the group I wanted to add the video (or object) to.  I copied all of the elements within the group.

2.  Pasted the elements into the timeline.  Now there is the original group and the copied ones as individual elements.

3. Create new group from the pasted elements and now include the video (or shape etc) that you wanted to add.

4. If there are triggers and animations, go to the Animation tab, select the original group and click Animation Painter

5.  Paste the animation to the new group you created

6.  Edit the triggers to link to the new group and updated in my case, the line motion path.   Keep in mind, the copied animation motion path was assigned a new numerical value, however, it is the exact same line motion as the original group.  SAVE

7.  Now you can either hide or delete the original group.  I suggest only hiding it so you won't lose the original triggers/animation.

I really hope this helped.  This project is due tomorrow and I made promises to add videos to the template that I was thinking I was going to have to break..until now.

Hello Katrina and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

This is an amazing first post and representation of what the community can do for you :) 

I love that you came in here to share your knowledge back with the community because that's what it's all about.

Congrats on your project completion and best wishes!
