Cannot delete empty groups
Normann1974 started this discussion in Bug Reporting

I have a quite a few empty groups in my model but I can't remove them. If I click their tool icon and choose "remove", nothing happens. Since they're empty, I can't use Ungroup (alt-j) on them either.

You must delete the empty groups by selecting them and using the [DELETE] key in your keyboard 😉

I think it wouldn't be hard to add a "Remove Group" option. But yes, indeed, you have to use the "delete" key for now after clicking the group.

So the "remove" function in the tools menu for a group does something else? Ah, I see now that it removes selected bricks from the group. That is very confusing to me. When I click something and a "remove" function shows up, I expect that thing to be removed. Please consider renaming (also the "add" function). Maybe even add a "remove" function to the tools menu that does indeed delete the group.

I guess the "Instructions" tab next to Group tab maybe will give us some more information about these functions in the future?

@Normann1974. You have a delete button on the left hand side toolbar to delete a group and its content. You can also press delete on your keyboard. Remove and delete are 2 different things. "Remove" a group doesn't really have any sense especially with the "ungroup" button. Labels could be "Remove from" and "add to".

"Instructions" tab is something else that will come later.

Ahaa, the building instructions...?

Labels could be "Remove from" and "add to".

I agree. That would make things clearer.
