GroupNode

class compas_model.model.GroupNode(name, frame=None, attr=None, **kwargs)

Bases: TreeNode

Class representing nodes containing elements in an element tree.

A group node always has a name, but the name is not required to be unique. A group node can have (arbitrary) additional attributes.

Parameters:
namestr

The name of the group node.
