How to Ungroup in Adobe Dimension?

Published in Adobe Dimension Groups 1 min read

To quickly ungroup objects in Adobe Dimension, you use a specific keyboard shortcut.

Ungrouping with Keyboard Shortcuts

The most direct way to ungroup an existing group in Adobe Dimension is by using a keyboard shortcut:

  • On macOS: Press Cmd + Shift + G
  • On Windows: Press Ctrl + Shift + G

This action will separate the objects that were previously combined into a single group, allowing you to select and manipulate them individually.

Understanding Groups in Dimension

Groups are a fundamental way to organize multiple 3D models, images, or text elements in your scene. They are often used when you want to:

  • Treat several objects as a single unit for positioning, scaling, or rotation.
  • Keep your scene panel tidy and well-organized.

As the reference notes, "Groups are often used to organize objects that should be conceptually treated as a single object. Dimension uses group select by default." This means when you click on any object within a group, the entire group is selected by default unless you change your selection preferences. Using the ungroup shortcut reverses this process, breaking the link between the objects in that specific group.
