To add elements to a collection, use any of the following methods:
Select the required element in the Model Explorer and right-click and select Add to Collections from the menu.
Alternatively, drag and drop the element into the Collections grid or the Contents grid.
If you have used the Add to Current Collection, Add Members to Current Collection or Add Hierarchy to Current Collection menu option, the element is added to the current collection.
If you have dragged and dropped the element from the Model Explorer, the element can be dropped directly onto a Collection in the Collections list in order to include it in that collection. If the element is dropped outside the Collections list a new collection containing the element is created.
If the element was dropped onto the Contents grid and a collection is currently selected, the element is added to that collection. If no collection is selected, elements cannot be dropped onto the Contents grid.
Alternatively, select the required element in the Drawlist, and proceed as described for the Model Explorer.
Unlike the Model Explorer, multiple elements can be selected in the Drawlist, and added to the Collections grid. From the Drawlist window right-click Add to Collections. A new collection is automatically created containing the selected elements.
