OutlinerElement#init()

Initializes the element so it can be used in the outliner.

OutlinerElement#addTo( destination )

Removes the element.

OutlinerElement#rename()

Marks the name of the group or element in the outliner for renaming.

OutlinerElement#saveName()

Saves the changed name of the element by creating an undo point and making the name unique if necessary.

Group#sortContent()

Sort the content of the group alphabetically. This will automatically create an undo point.

Group#duplicate()

Group#getSaveCopy()

Returns a copy of the group that can be used to save the group to a JSON file.

Group#getChildlessCopy()

Returns a copy of the group without the children. Internally used by the duplicate function.

Group#compile( undo )

Generates a copy of the group that can be used for undo points or to save in block model files. * undo Make the copy work for undo points.

Group#forEachChild( callback, type, for_self )

Run a funtion for each child of the group recursively. * callback Function to run for each child. First argument is the child. * type For which type to run the function. Can be Group, NonGroup, Cube etc. or undefined. * for_self Whether to also run the function on itself.
