    Hi,

    I was wondering how exactly grouped objects and location would react to each other. 

    If I import a piece of truss and copy it like 3 times to build my Lx truss, group them and then assign a Location name in the propertie field ,as "Lx1" for this example, the Location report show me the 4 piece of truss as it should.

    When I attach fixture to this group of truss, those fixtures are not reported in the Location report. I have to ungroup the Trusses and then assign to eaxh of them a Location (Lx1) if I want to have my fixtures reported. (hope made myself clear)

    The process would be to to first assign the location and then coyp them.

    I was wondering why the trusses are shown in the Location report and not the fixture when grouping trusses. 

    I tried to group differents forms (cubes) to create a stage, add a location name (Floor) and moving light on that stage expecting to have them sorted in the Fixture location but nope they don't appear.

    What is the purpose of location for groups and why the fixtures are not related to it ?

    And same whith snapper lines, why don't they have the location field option ?

    Thanks

    The fact that fixtures don't pick up on the location assigned to a group of fixtures is a bug that we are looking into fixing.

    Fixtures only locate to truss though, so they will not pick up on location information entered for any other type of object.
