Prefabs can't be separated?

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?

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.

This is pretty important, and should be documented on the wiki.

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

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?

"Create group out of prefab parts" checkbox in the prefab dialogue box?

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
