Grouping and ungrouping

I’m using UE5.8 - I have a group of about 122 actors that are joined in one group, only one them needs to deleted from the group. I tried many ways to separate that item/actor from its group but the ungroup and unluck functions are applied to all the items. and I have to go and select them all and group them again, which is not a practical way. Please before anyone suggests a method to do so (Ungroup one item only without ungrouping the whole items from one another), please try it and see that method works. Thanks in advance.

I know two methods of doing so. I’ve attached description, but you can also see it on the clip below (I’m currently on 4.27 but it works on 5+ as well)


Method 1, ungrouping and grouping

  1. Select your group
  2. simply Ungroup (but don’t click anything afterwards so you don’t deselect all actors) [shift+g]
  3. hold control and click actors you want to remove from selection
  4. group again [ctrl + g]

Method 2, actually removing from group

  1. click your group
  2. right-click and select group->unlock
  3. select actors you want to remove from group
  4. right-click and select group->remove from group
  5. at the end you can again Lock your group, just right-click any of the actors in the group and select group->lock

cheers
