Hi Brian,

Right, Group07 has 2 children, one is a group named "OuterSpiral" which is an empty group with no children of its own, and then the 2nd child is the blue spiral shaped curve which does not have a name assigned to it.

It's not very useful to have a group with just one geometric object in it like this. So to clean that up, in the viewport click on the blue curve once and you'll have Group07 selected. Use "Ungroup" and that will promote the children of Group07 up to the top level and eliminate Group07. Then select the empty group OuterSpiral in the scene browser and use Delete or also Ungroup can be used to eliminate it.


But I'm not seeing more than one "Unnamed" entry for the same level in this file, was this meant to be an example of that?

Thanks,
- Michael
