You can create variants for all models and objects of a group and their subgroups.
Procedure
Open the Explorer tab.
Log in to the relevant database.
If required, create a new group in which you want to insert the master items.
Right-click the group containing the models and objects for which you want to create variants and hold down the mouse button.
Drag the mouse pointer over the group in which you want to create the master items.
Release the mouse button. The pop-up menu is shown.
Click Create group variants here.
The Create group variants dialog opens.
Enable the check boxes of the groups that are not to be included in creating the variants. This is how you exclude subgroups.
Enable the Include subgroups check box, if you want to exclude all subgroups of all groups that have already been enabled.
Click OK.
The master items of the groups not excluded are placed in the target group and the variants are placed in the source group. The same group structure as in the source group is created for the master items.
