Copy (Paste) Group in an Assembly?

Hello! I placed in an assembly eight Parts that I made into a Group. Now I want more copies of that group. All I could figure to do was Right-Click the Group under Mate Features to Hide it... bring in the eight parts again, and make another group. I see you can Copy-Paste a Part but not a Group. See Car 1 and Car 2 in my "exploded" view of a "people mover" concept. ...(Always answer my own question while writing these!)... I see I can drag a window around the "group" selecting the eight items, right-click and copy the eight items, right-click paste the eight items and then create another group with them. Bit faster...paste again and group again...

    Be nice to have an "eyeball" next to a Group in Mate Features!

    The other alternative is to create a subassembly and insert it as many times as you want to have cars.

    I also thought of that, but didn't want another tab! @ilya_baran I did try before creating a sub assembly within an assembly. I'll have to practice that a bit more!
