Can't Modify Objects In A Group

jordanAFTS — Sat, 09 Mar 2019 23:07:14 GMT

New to 3DS Max, so this might be a D'oh! moment. I have a DL'ed model and I can't ungroup the objects. They all seem to be on child layers from a parent layer (Layer 0). I can turn them off, but when I assign a material to one, it changes the entire group. This is what I'm getting when I select any of the layers:

Any help is very much appreciated.

Hi. Go to the "Group" tab (top bar menu) and select "Open". Now you should be able to select and modify each object in the group. After you're done, you can close the group again.

Hope it helps

Thank you so much! That was pretty darned simple. I have so much to learn with this software.
