1 Has anyone else had this problem?
The real problem you are having is typical of anyone new to Rev.
The 'mode'
is the key... you can switch between 'select grouped' ON, which
means that
the individual controls, etc are activated, or 'select grouped'
OFF, which
means the group is activated, then you can turn on 'edit group'.
2 Any ideas on how to ungroup the objects?
By using 'select grouped' OFF, activating a group, choose ungroup
from the
menu
3 Any idea on how to access the group via the GUI?
'select grouped' OFF + activate + 'edit group' ON
Let me add that there is a long-standing bug in the Rev interface
that causes the "select grouped" mode to not be obvious. In other
words, when you click on the Select Grouped icon on the toolbar, it
is supposed to turn red and go boldfaced when in select grouped mode,
and go white/plain again when in "normal" (i.e., select the whole
group) mode. Unfortunately, when you are in select grouped mode,
after selected various objects, invariably the state of the select
grouped icon will revert back to plain/white, giving you no visual
indication of what mode you're in. This is a source of great
confusion to beginners (and even non-beginners!) until they develop
an automatic awareness of this pitfall. You just have to pay close
attention when selecting objects that are in groups, always double
checking which mode you're in.
