How can I create groups instead of templates to speed up rendering. Similar to how my symbolfactory library works, I’d like to pull my created shapes from a library somehow and drag them into a template so my load speeds don’t suffer. I would like to access these shapes as groups since Ignition does not seem to handle nested templates for me. ---

You can create a Custom Palette within the designer for your objects. Refer to the link below for the Ignition Users Manual. You can find the directions by following Project Design\>Windows, Components, and Templates\>Components\>Creating Shapes and Components\>Custom Palettes. Before you save your object to the Custom Palette, you can group the objects together, this will essentially give you the same functionality as an SVG.

I was told this wasn’t possible before ---
