Yep, same names in both groups.
2 identical models , each one containing 1 group.
Start_Model/Group
End_Model/Group

What do the object names look like on each side? Are they identical or
end in the same number? I'm pondering if extracting IDs from the names
is worth exploring.

You would only need a script if you want to create the ID
parameter automatically. You can always create them manually
if scripting is not your thing. Do you have a lot of members
in your group?

Is there some script available ? Because I'm no coder :p

To keep track of IDs, I created custom parameters per
object with a unique ID. Then in ICE, I just search
for the ID parameter in the group to find it's index
in the list of the group. You could use a similar
technique in your situation.

Subject: Re: IDs in Groups
Group indices AFAIK are in "creation order", so as
long as you remove the exact same piece from both
in the same order, indices should stay OK.
That is to say, if you go piece by piece. Removing
X from group A and then X from B, it should be ok.
If you remove Y & X from A and X & Y from B in
that order, you'll most likely get messed up indices.

Hello there,
I'm working on a Meccano project (Lego like
construction kit).
In short : 320 Pieces of Meccano are lying on the
ground, they fly together and form the final
object (a truck).
I shall use particle instances and use velocities
to drive them to their final position.
Instances are in group.
I have 2 models :
Model one is Starting position (Start Group),
Model 2 is End (goal) Positions (End Group).
Everything works relying on Objects IDs within groups.
What will happen if I delete and/or add objects to
both groups ? How can I force Ice to keep track of
IDs ?
Is alphabetical naming enough ?
removing from group object "Bolt_030" from both
groups and then adding to group another new
"Bolt_030" object, will this work ?
That's something I should test soon, but having
some inputs on this would be great.
Thank you !
