How to
Before starting a flow:
Create a group
Name the group something Unique
Create a flow
Add the Group Instance node and instanced group transform
Click “edit defaults” to set the starting values
If working with multiple points in Lists , use map to place a group instance on each point in the list.
Adjust the group instance settings in Properties
Group Instance Settings
When you add the group instance transform, a collection of properties are added to the properties palette. Edit these values to adjust the flow result.
Group id: Input the group name
Scale: Scale the entire group up or down. 1 = original scale
Rotation: rotate the entire group. Input degrees of rotation. 0 is original rotation
Mirror: Flip the entire group on the n/s axis
Group Instance Outputs
The Instanced Group transform outputs copies of the group, placed on the points defined in the flow. The origin of the group is placed at each point.
The Group Instance transform is Unique because changes made to the original group will apply to all instances.
