Springheel 4504 Report post Posted March 28, 2017 I'm using the most recent version of DR, and I'm seeing prefab behaviour that I'm not used to. When I insert a prefab, it seems like the entire prefab is a singular entity? Even though the prefab is made out of multiple models, I can't select any of the models individually to move them. Clicking on any part of the prefab selects the entire thing. Is this the new behaviour for prefabs? Is there some option to turn this off?

Destined 559 Report post Posted March 28, 2017 Prefabs are automatically grouped, when you insert them. You can simply right-click the prefab and use "Ungroup Selection" (or you can use Edit->Ungroup Selection). I believe grouping is one of the latest features for DR. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spooks 663 Report post Posted March 28, 2017 There is also a checkbox in the prefab window that can be unchecked to disable this behaviour. 1 Quote My FMs: The King of Diamonds (2016) | Visit my Mapbook thread sometimes! | Read my tutorial on Image-Based Lighting Workflows for TDM!

Bikerdude 3738 Report post Posted March 28, 2017 Yeah Greebo introduced this cool new feature in DR 2.2.1, its makes moving FS around much much easier. And as I have discovered, pretty much cures vert-point-drift! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Melan 1801 Report post Posted March 29, 2017 This is pretty important, and should be documented on the wiki.

Springheel 4504 Report post Posted April 14, 2017 While I'm totally sold on having prefabs start grouped, I'm finding that this doesn't always happen. There seem to be certain prefabs, bunkbeds, for instance, that refuse to start grouped, even when they are grouped before saving. Is there any trick to making sure they start grouped? edit: No, it's not that...all prefabs are loading ungrouped now. Is there a setting I unintentionally switched?
