      Greetings,

      Wondering how to add a 'Make Group' option to the right click context menu?

      Using SketchUp Pro7.

      Thanks,
      minstrel

        It should already be there...right under Make Component. AFAIK it's always been there. The only time it doesn't show up is if you haven't selected enough geometry to make a valid group...like selecting a single edge or face (without its edges).

          Note however that it does not appear if you click on a single entity though under the Edit menu, it is still available in such a case, too.

          Gai...

            Well, that nailed it!

            Thank you both for the quick solutions!

              Hi folks.

              The choices to make a group or a component with a single entity are not available in the context menu.

              However, they are alwaysavailable in the Edit Menu.

              Just ideas.

                Therefore, select something and the use Window > Preferences > Shortcuts to make a shortcut key-combo to that very 'edit' command... and then you won't need a context-menu at all πŸ˜’
                So if G were 'Make Component' then Shift+G could be 'Make Group'...
                etc etc...
