Using v5 beta Dec-1-2023

If I have a object group hierarchy as follows:
code:
    Group01
        Components
        Dimensions
        Etc


When I select one of the group's elements, say one of the Components, and change its size via the object's properties, the entire group is scaled along with the object I edited. I was expecting that if I select only one of the group's elements, I could edit it and change only that element. I went back through the beta release notes & did not notice anything about this, so am asking, is this expected behavior? While it is kind of neat, it is also unexpected & seemingly inconsistent with the notion that things outside of the selected object are being changed.

Hi Larry,

Thanks for reporting this - it looks like a holdover from some previous behavior where if you have an edge of a cylinder selected you could modify it there and it would scale the whole cylinder.

But I agree that for a group sub selection it is not expected for the entire parent group to be affected. I will adjust that.

Thanks, - Michael

Michael,

When I click the web link, it says "Current version: Dec-1-2023." Typo?

Edit:
Sorry, see another user posted the same comment earlier.

Hi Marco, I'm sorry there is not a set date yet. It is taking time to work through various bugs.

Ok, thanks for the info. But just to get a slightly clearer idea… are we talking about a release by summer, fall, or by the end of the year? Thanks.

Sorry I don't know the answer to this currently.
