The room group(s) now have nested groups

1. the bathroom
2. the closet
3. the FAU

For the rooms on the floor with the odd floor to floor I ungroup the room leaving only the "nested" groups. The walls can then be managed outside the group limitation.

I will always use this work flow:

• Develop a low level of detail room group(s) for design and design development to track room counts, areas, and basic wall doors and ceilings, blocking and stacking.
• Increase the LOD at a point in the design where  room development gets serious using nested groups.
• Ungroup the the overall group where needed (Eventually removering the overall roup from the project wouldnt hurt). remove any redundant walls.
• Use exclude on the smaller groups.

PS dont mirror groups

Concurred, don't mirror groups!

Thanks for the reply, we have yet to explore Groups in quite as much detail but I look forward to trying out this workflow. Is it wise to contain the partition walls as Nested Groups also, and perhaps have a variation for each floor to ceiling height? Or am I mistaking the functionality of Nested Groups with that of Attached Detail Groups?
