I can't ungroup them, I've tried and tried. I've both grouped them and locked them in position so I have to sit here pressing ctrl, clicking with the mouse and holding it down, choosing from the list and then I press shift - trouble is instead of one "Orb" I get up to 6 or 8, and I dunno which part is which. I can't just click on the single grouped Orb object. I tried for about an hour today, but I keep forgeting what I'm doing and I click in the wrong order, or I find I've selected something I didn't want and then I click in the wrong place, and everything is suddenly de-selected again, and I'm back to square 1..... I try adding a family, and it looks like it's okay until I realise the ship has parts that are in that family so I have to carefully deselect those cylinders..... and I always get it wrong. I was doing this in order to add the carefully assembled object to my user list - but when I think I have it all selected, and go to "add" it to the "create" list - all that appears in the little preview box is one single sphere.... grrrrrr! At one stage I suddenly realised that the object had somehow come unstuck from parts of itself and now looked.... weird? it's difficult to describe, and I don't want to post an image as I'm hoping to get this in some sort of shape so that everyone (- well, those who might be interested) will see it as totally new. I'm suffering from that conceit where you think you have something quite good... total rubbish of course.
