In events 5 and 9 you are picking from group2 but the action that sets opacity is for group1. I'm guessing you meant to have the action apply to group2 not group1.

I was thinking of using Group 1 for picking objects by UID, Since UID's are same no matter what group the objects are in I wanted to apply changes to objects in Group 2 based on the UID's picked from Group 1? Or this maybe not possible by design? Maybe the only way is to load all the picked objects UID's in group 1 to an Array? and then pick UID's from the array, to pick objects from Group 2? Just seemed very inefficient, and cumbersome to do it that way.

Just add Group1.Pick_by_UID(Group2.UID)

Families maintain different picked instances, by design. If you pick from one family and have actions for a different family, the actions will still apply to all instances.

Ashley, Thanks I didn't get that at first, so you can close the bug.
