## ShapeKey.ShapeGroupName

### Introduced

v5.0

### Description

Returns or sets a String representing the name of the shape group to which the shape key object belongs. Shape groups are a way to semantically organize shape keys within a given cluster. A shape key can be part of only one shape group. This organization is visible within the shape manager view.
Note: If you attempt to assign a non-existing shape group name to a shape key, a new shape group will be created.

### C# Syntax

    // get accessor

    String rtn = ShapeKey.ShapeGroupName;

    // set accessor

    ShapeKey.ShapeGroupName = String;

### Examples

#### JScript Example

    /* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    	This example demonstrates how to get and set shape group identifiers.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ */

    NewScene(null, false);

    CreatePrim("Cone", "MeshSurface", null, null);

    ActivateVertexSelTool(null);

    ActivateVertexSelTool(null);

    SelectGeometryComponents("cone.pnt[1]");

    Translate(null, -4.77865299554318, 0, 0, siRelative, siGlobal, siObj, siXYZ, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, 1);

    StoreShapeKey("cone.pnt[1]", "", siShapeLocalReferenceMode, 1, 0, 0, siShapeContentPrimaryShape, false);

    SelectFilter("object");

    Translate(null, 9.36145955684278, 0, 0, siRelative, siGlobal, siObj, siXYZ, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, 1);

    StoreShapeKey("cone.polymsh.cls.Shape", "", siShapeLocalReferenceMode, 1, 0, 0, siShapeContentPrimaryShape, false);

    SelectObj("cone", null, true);

    var oShapeCluster = Selection(0).ActivePrimitive.Geometry.Clusters(0);

    var oShapeKey0 = oShapeCluster.Properties("ShapeKey");

    var oShapeKey1 = oShapeCluster.Properties("ShapeKey1");

    // Logs the default shape group

    LogMessage(oShapeKey0.ShapeGroupName);

    LogMessage(oShapeKey1.ShapeGroupName);

    // Changing the shape group.

    oShapeKey0.ShapeGroupName = "MyShapeGroup";

    oShapeKey1.ShapeGroupName = "MyShapeGroup";

    // Logs "MyShapeGroup" for both keys.

    LogMessage(oShapeKey0.ShapeGroupName);

    LogMessage(oShapeKey1.ShapeGroupName);
