Group.AddMember
v5.0
Adds members to a group.
You can add objects in branch mode, so that properties assigned to
the group are inherited by the objects and their children. For
example, if you have a hierarchy A->B->C and you add object A
to a group in branch mode, then any material assigned to the group
applies not only to A but also to B and C.
You can use Group.IsMember to
check if an object is a branch member of a group. To change the
branch setting of a group member, you have to remove the object and
then add it back to the group.
Note: Use AddToPartition to add members
to a Partition Group.
