How can ungoupe everything and maintain the animation

Anonymous — Fri, 25 Nov 2016 18:37:55 GMT

Hello everyone,

I have a question that should be simple but i am obviously missing something.

I received a file that has several parts that are grouped together. the grouped elements are all in a 360 animation.

The problem is that when i ungroupe all of the elements it messes up the animation.

How can ungoupe everything and maintain the animation. I want to edit parts of the grouped object while maintaining the animation.

Thanks

Hello @Anonymous,

Is it necessary to ungroup it? You can "open" a group in the Group menu and still work with the objects inside. The pink handles you see are the open group and they can be selected and hidden so that to the user there's no real difference between that and ungrouped. My feeling is that the animation must be somehow on the group so when you ungroup it, those keyframes are going away. Please let me know if this isn't an option for you and we can explore more laborious methods. The above though would be the easy way to work with it.

Best Regards,
