Ability to ungroup a single item via a button

Currently, as an active builder and occasional coder. I am running into quite the bottle neck. I try and build as organized as possible, which often includes grouping together items in an area and I make use of folders.
Right now, if I want to ungroup a single item I have to resort to scrolling / sliding it out of the group and into the group I want it to be in. Or I have to ungroup the entire model, move the part away and regroup the entire model. (ctrl + u and ctrl + g) That takes quite a while and would be made much easier if there was a button and or shortcut.

A button and or shortcut that would move the selected part, item, model, script etc. to the parent of the group it is currently in would make organizing builds less of a hassle.

Use case example:

  • I want to duplicate (ctrl + d) an item from one group and use it for another build. Right now I have to drag it from the origin model into the model of my other build. - this would be easier if I could press a shortcut that parents it to the parent of the model (i.e workspace) and then let me regroup it with the model of my other build.

Thanks a lot!

Or, if I have one item selected, allow me to ungroup that item using ctrl + u. Now when you press ungroup on an item selected it will do nothing.

But that doesn’t solve the issue if you want to ungroup a singular model from another model. Since ctrl + u would just ungroup the model completely.

You can hold down the alt key to individually select a part which is inside a model.

True. But that doesn’t allow you to ungroup it from it’s parent if it for example is a single mesh that you want moved over to another area.

I still don’t really see the issue.
If you want to move instances from one group to another without dragging
Why don’t you

  • select the instances you want to move
  • press ctrl + x
  • select where you want to parent them to
  • press ctrl + v

I don’t see how adding a new unique shortcut could improve this.
Or am I misunderstanding what you’re trying to achieve?

hey! while this is a really useful feature, it’s unlikely that we’d add it for all users without at least a bit of discussion, which would take time. however, this is easily implementable as a user plugin, so i made one for you!

Is this plugin set to public? I believe you have to set “Distribute on Creator Store” to enabled.
