    Dear Sim4life Team,
    I have created an EntityGroup and some entities using Python API scripter, but I don't know how to put these entities into this EntityGroup using Python API. Could you help me answer this question?

    Thank you!

      Something like this

      my_group = s4l.model.CreateGroup()
      my_poly = s4l.model.CreatePolyLine(my_points)
      my_group.Add(my_poly)

        Hello @montanaro,

        What if I already created a group? How can I get that folder to add more items to it?

        Thanks!

          group_name = "Group 1"
          
          entities = s4l.model.AllEntities()
          my_group = entities[group_name]
          

          You can use this to get any element in your model, HOWEVER, unfortunately you'll run into problems if you have multiple model elements / groups with the same name, so make sure to have unique names for every top level element (don't worry about elements within groups)
