I've been using Studio 2.0 to document a simple robot using the Robot Inventor 51515 set. Imported the parts as the "Robot Inventor Prime Lessons" suggest, that pretty much worked.

My question is: Is it possible to group all the parts that exist in the RI 51515 set, separately from all the other zillion parts Lego has designed over the years? So that when I want to select, say, a 5-hole lift arm, I don't have to wade through every part in the universe, to find it? I've used Studio's Search function, which helps a little, cuts down the possible parts search to only one million parts to of the three zillion Lego has made. LDD used to group its parts for, say, the EV3 31313 set, and every time you used one, there was one fewer remaining. Can we do something like that in Studio 2.0?

The simple robot after rendering: Hub, two drive motors, two large wheels, one small pivoting front wheel

You can get the parts list from Antons Mindstorms and load it on Studio.

Thank you, ninoguba! I already imported the parts as the "Robot Inventor Prime Lessons" suggest (from Github), that pretty much worked. But they weren't all the parts in the 51515 set, just the new ones (Hub, motor, sensors) that haven't been in any set until recently. I believe they all wound up in a "Custom Parts" group.

If I get the parts as you suggest, will they wind up in a separate "Robot Inventor 51515" set? And are they ALL of the parts in the 51515 set, including common ones like lift arms, pins, wheels etc., plus the Hub and the rest?

I appreciate your help!  

Yes but they will not have the custom parts so you will still need to switch.

Which parts are the "Custom parts"?

Are all 51515 parts (lift arms, pins, wheels, hub, motors, sensors etc.) included in the antonsmindstorms.com link you mentioned above? So that if I do what you suggested, then I'll have one group that has all the parts in the 51515 set, and not the other million parts Lego has made over the years?
