# GroupMerge

The GroupMerge node is a SuperTool that creates a convenient interface for managing multiple nodes of the same type.

Within the GroupMerge interface, you can create any number of nodes of the same type, and these nodes are combined into a single output by merging them. The nodes are merged in the order they appear in the list.

This node is most often used to group nodes that have no input, but provide a scene graph location as an output. For example, the GroupMerge node could be used to manage multiple PrimitiveCreate nodes, and the output scene graph is all of the primitives merged together.

Note: When the GroupMerge node is first created, its type is not defined. You can create a node and then add it to the stacklist by Shift+middle-mouse and dragging from the Node Graph tab to the node's list in the Parameters tab. At that point, the GroupMerge is permanently typed as a group of the type of node that was dragged in.
