Group Modification

[Adjei Ameyaw]

Hello, 

I know if you want to use the python api to modify existing vp3 files, you first find the particular id , say if you want  access to the wing and the wing's name is MainWing in the file you do something like 

wing_id = vsp.FindGeom("MainWing", 0) and then you use the wing_id to set parameter values.

I was wondering, how would you access the whole group together (fuselage + wing, + tail etc.) so you can do group modifications? 

Any help will be appreciated. 

So you can modify these variables through the api.

From the API, if you want to manipulate a group like that, they must be in a Set.  Then, use the Group Modification calls.

You can also construct your model with attachment and parent/child relationships -- this will frequently remove the need for group modification.
