      Hi sketchucatheads πŸ€“

      I messed up, starting with my first model I made groups not components, and now I have to change all this groups the same way......
      Is there a possibility to replace this groups by a component (with same dimensions as groups) in order to change all structures by one action??? Or can I select all the same groups by one action and turn it into a component???

      Thanks for helping!!!!!!
      Jo

        I believe you want ThomThom's plugin "Groups to Components" Select one of the groups and in the Contextual menu you can choose the command "Group Copies / Select All"(or another selection choice). Once they are selected choose "Group Copies / Convert to Components". Each group has to be un-edited from the others. Perhaps someone has a one-time script for this, IDK.

          After converting all groups to components, you can replace them all by a single one using component replacer plugin, also from thomthom
