Why use drivers groups?

Grouping drivers helps you keep models organized by creating collapsible sections.

  1. Press Shift and click a group’s caret to collapse all groups.
  2. Press Option and click a group’s caret to expand all groups.

In addition to improving organization and readability, groups also make it easier to find and reuse drivers. When adding drivers to a block, you can search by group name and include all or a subset of drivers from that group.

You can also reference an entire driver group in formulas, instead of selecting each driver individually.

How to group drivers?

There are a couple of ways to create groups in a model:

  1. Select and group: Select the drivers you’d like to group, then right-click and choose Group — or press Cmd / Ctrl + G. A new group will be created with the selected drivers. Give the group a descriptive name.
  2. Create group first:
    Scroll to the bottom of the model and click + Create group. Give the group a name, then drag the relevant drivers into the group one by one or in bulk.

Once your groups are set up, you can drag and drop groups to reorder.
