What other capabilities would you expect?

I thought it would be possible to create an empty group and then add the furniture to it separately.

Look at FurnitureController class to understand how a furniture group is created and handled.

It was the addFurnitureToGroup method that caused me problems because it is necessary to have a list of furniture and a group of furniture as a parameter.

The difficult thing is probably to allow undo / redo on groups, but maybe you won't need that?

As it is to add new light sources in the plan, the undo/redo function is not negligible.

Even though it's not very intuitive, I was able to work around the issues by using the methods provided by the FurnitureController class.

Code: Select all

getHomeController().getPlanController().setSelectedLevel(lightLevel);
List<HomePieceOfFurniture> singleLightSource = new ArrayList<HomePieceOfFurniture>();
singleLightSource.add(lightSourceClone);
getHomeController().getFurnitureController().addFurniture(singleLightSource);
severalLightSources.add(lightSourceClone);
...
getHomeController().getFurnitureController().setSelectedFurniture(severalLightSources);
getHomeController().getFurnitureController().groupSelectedFurniture();
HomeFurnitureGroup lightSourcesGroup = (HomeFurnitureGroup) getHome().getSelectedItems().get(0);
