ungrouping

[Stephen Messimer]

Sannyasin,

I feel your pain!  If I understand the problem correctly there is a 
solution.  :-)

FIrst copy the stack as it is and leave the original in a safe place 
just incase this doesn't work.

There are two possible ways to deal with this.

1.  Go to the Second deepest nested grp using the edit grp btn of the 
rev tools bar. Select the group you want to remove.  Make sure  that 
grps selection handles are showing. (You are not editing it yet.)  Cut 
the grp from its current owner.  Select the browse tool.  Now select 
the pointer and click the main group. Click the edit button of the Rev 
toolbar.  Paste the wayward group.

2.  This method requires that you disassemble all the groups containing 
your wayward group. Go to the SECOND deepest nested grp using the edit 
grp btn of the rev tools bar. Select the group you want to remove. Make 
sure  that grp's selection handles are showing AND the no other objects 
or groups are selected. Now click the group button of the tools menu.  
When this btn is used with a group it ungroups all the objects. to 
dthis as many times as you need to reduce the mess to individual 
objects.  Then reassemble your stack.

Before you do this be sure to copy any group scripts that you have 
written for the grp.  Once you ungrp it that script will transcend this 
plain of exsistence.  :-)

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Steve
