Additionally, applications that use ParamML and OpenBrIM objects can also utilize Group objects to store custom data. Group objects can be nested within all types of objects, providing a flexible and organized way to manage data within a project.

Syntax

Code Block
languagexml
<O T="Group">
.....
.....
.....
</O>

...

We can group various objects created as volumes under a single title called "volume" using the Group object. This allows us to move or manipulate all of the volumes at the same time, such as by shifting their position or placing them on the same route in a single move. This can be useful in situations where multiple similar objects need to be managed or manipulated together.

As demonstrated in the code, the parameters are organized and grouped together under a "Group" object. This allows for better organization and management of the parameters within the project, making it easier to access and manipulate the parameters as needed.
