Created attachment 83468 [details] How-To-Guide I am attaching a document that describes how to adopt the group/ungroup functionality in a GMF diagram.
The GMF Runtime now has the ability to group and ungroup shapes. Check out the GMF Runtime Logic and Geoshapes Examples to see the new functionality.

To learn how to adopt the group/ungroup in a GMF diagram, see the attached document. Note at this point, the group/ungroup functionality has not yet been adopted by the GMF Code Generator.
