Group Rigs and Group Levels

Two settings with one name.

Two settings called Group Level #

	Extrude Curves	Group Rigs
Sets	The geometry granularity	The animation grouping
Value	Always 0	Depends on your artwork
At 0	Every shape is its own rig, with its own correct caps and Z layer	(not allowed: minimum 1)

Never raise the Extrude level to fix an animation problem. Use Group Rigs for that.

Ordimus tab > SVG Rigs > Group Rigs For Constructor.

Setting	Value
Group	By Source Group
Group Level	Count down your own hierarchy to the thing you animate as a unit
Add Ingestor	On
Hide Members	On

The status bar reports Made N group(s) from M rig(s) at level L (K left alone as single objects).

Count down from the top of your import:

1  Dashboard Artwork
2    Button_List
3      Button_01_Group      <- the thing you want to drive as a unit

Here the answer is 3.

Too few groups (the whole list is one driven set): lower the level by one.
Too many groups (each row splits into text, icon and arrow): raise it by one.
It is cheap to re-run and destroys nothing.

By Source Group with nothing selected uses every rig in the file. That is the normal path. The dialog says so: “Nothing selected – will use every rig in the file.”
Selection mode makes one group from the objects you select. It needs two or more extruded rigs.

Group rigs go in <prefix> Rigs.
The member rigs move to <prefix> Sources. They become source geometry for the group rig.

Remember

Group by motion, not by category. Name every group before you export.
