# group element attributes

The group element has the following attributes:

- name
- height
- width
- left
- top
- visible
- wallpaper

Group elements in exported files show only the name, visible, and wallpaper attributes. The name element is required. All the others are optional.

The group draws its height, width, left, and top values from the objects within the group. If you edit the exported XML file to add values for these group attributes and then re-import the file, the new attributes will override attribute values for the objects.

Important: | If the wallpaper attribute for a group is set to true, the wallpaper attributes for all the objects, sub-groups and objects in sub-groups within the group must be missing or be set to false. Otherwise, unexpected behavior may result.
