I always work with Outliner open to keep track of group hierarchies. And, until SU2023, I have been able to select a group for editing by double clicking on the ‘black box’ beside the group name in Outliner; it’s a great way for me to ensure that the editing is happening in the correct group. SU20…

I waited several months before beginning to use '23. It’s fluky but with a Component select and then Group selecting with shift+ it usually gets it going for me. If it did not I would also switch back (still have 22 installed). Have you closed and reopened the tray? I’ve done that a couple times w…

Im still using 22 but obviously need to switch to 23 at some stage to stay compatible with certain plugins. Would you say 2023 is now okay for your purposes? Cheers

I’m switching over to '23. The main way I have been using Outliner in '23 is to Group Components (so everything in the Model is a Component and they are Grouped in the Outliner as I go). If everything is tidy as I go, I have fewer problems. Here’s an example that I recently made - with a little mes…

I too am having this issue and it has preventing me from using SU 2023

Hello Little reminder shot to bring up the post. Outliner renames the groups on its own, as soon as you select non-concomitant groups in the list using the CTRL key. :rage:

I think that anyone who says is this is ‘no big deal’ is under-clubbing the issue. This is a HUGE deal, and I’m dealing with it every day. The Outliner has been one of the core navigation tools for SU from the beginning, and is a huge “click-suck” now. Does the dev team not even use this tool? The…

I’m likely an outlier, but I never use outliner!

I agree that the quintuple click and sudden renaming to “group” of previously named groups is not so great. I created a toolbar extension to solve the problem and create a better workflow. When components are selected, you click the “Group Namer” button. A group is created and a prompt appears with…

That’s also great about SketchUp, it allows many different workflows. I really can’t do without the Outliner. So stuck in v2022 until it gets fixed.

I tried making an extension to help with some of these problems. The unwanted group renaming can still happen, but it is easier to name groups with a prompt since you don’t have to click a bunch of times.
