    Does SketchUp delete empty groups?

      I'm trying to have some empty groups in my model, which could hang around for a while, even across separate sessions of SU. They are locked. However, when I draw anything, it deletes my groups! Rude...

      i.e.:
      myGroup = Sketchup.active_model.entities.add_group myGroup.name = "My Group" myGroup.locked = true

      Then use the Rectangle tool to draw a rectangle, and watch the new group disappear from the Outliner.

      Is there a way around this?

        Yea - SU tries to clean up some times. If you for instance erase all the entities in a ComponentDefinition that definition will disappear. (Though I'm not exactly sure when SU does that.)

        Could you place a CPoint in it?
