Groups into components

[chrisglasier]

Are there any undesirable consequences from making a group into a component? In other words why have groups at all?

Thanks

You can be sure [or at least should be if it worked !] that a group is unique so changing one shouldn't change the rest. With a component you edit an instance and somewhere round the corner a copy changes unexpectedly - you can use make_unique but you need to know it's used lots of times - of course change one = change dozens is the power of using components but it can trip you up...

Thanks TIG. That is a human type thing that I think I can control; I was wondering if there were any technical if and buts.

You can always turn a group into a component and if you explode a component back into a group...
