In SimpliPlan, users can add multiple objects to a group, for example a toilet, flush button, toilet paper holder and brush as a water closet (WC) set. Groups can be moved together as a single object and saved as a favourite, allowing several related items to be added to a plan quickly and easily. Users can also ungroup a grouped selection, allowing items to be removed or replaced.
