Hi Frederick,

I guess I'd ask why put it in a group then if you don't want it to behave like a group?

Maybe you need some other organization method separate from groups like "folders" where you can select an entire folder using the scene browser but when you click on objects in the viewport they will select as individual items.

I'm not sure. It would probably have some difficulty co-existing with other selection mechanisms like edge/face drill in on solids.

If your initial click on a solid in a group selected the solid, then if your next click on it would do "drill up" to target the parent group that would mean you could not drill in to select edges or faces of the solid.
