The order in which you remove them shouldn't matter if you remove the same elements. It's the order you add new element in that matters. Make sure you select the new elements in the same order before adding them to both 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 !
