Create a vertical org chart and spaced out groups in Lucidchart

Question

Hi,

I am trying to set up a vertical org chart with two columns below a supervisor simi9lar to this image>

I have seen on another ticket that this is possible by manually moving the shapes but the linked page doesn’t describe how to do this and when I move the shape it links it to another supervisor.

The second customisation is from an image on the Lucidchart Org Charts from start to finish (https://help.lucid.co/hc/en-us/articles/31734373968148-Org-charts-A-guide-from-start-to-finish)

The two highlighted shapes are not part of the tier levels and aren’t linked to the next level higher than themselves. I am wanting to do something similar as we have two owners which I need to have close together but with one having a long line to a different group of employees and a second tier 2 employee that is moved away from the main group (see example below)

Thanks
Chris

Hi ​@Chris Mc,Thank you for posting in the Community! To address your first question, does this screenshot look like what you are trying to achieve for a vertical org chart?For your second question, I did some investigating to see how you could isolate a group from the main section. Unfortunately you can’t move the shapes further away, but as a work around you can add more org chart shapes to the document, and connect them manually with a line. (pictured below)Let me know if this helps!

Hi Kelsey,Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately, in response to your answer to the first question, it isn’t, the answer you supplied suggests a hierarchy below Erika and Russell where each of the 4 New Employees are on an equal footing.The reason for the two columns is down to space. We have 2 senior managers one has 6 team members the other has 12. so rather than having on column of 6 and one of 12 a more aesthetically useful design would be to have on double column 3 deep and one 6 deep.Better news on the second answer, this should suffice, I haven’t looked at it in detail but I’m guessing it will break the supervisor/worker link but we should be able to work with that.ThanksChris
