How to ungroup grouped channel letter models (from this page)

The live page body is short; the on-page "Video Transcript" block is the step source. Raw auto-caption is not copied in full; no transcript invented. Cleaned steps from that live block:

  1. This Part 4 is Ungroup / ungrouping grouped 3D Channel Letter models in PrintUP, after Part 1 Move, Part 2 Rotate, and Part 3 Scale. The live block names Ungroup as a transform feature for grouped objects.
  2. Ungroup is only relevant for grouped objects. A single Create Word shape is one model, so ungroup generally does not apply there.
  3. The recording uses an imported AM.CO.ZA logo that is grouped. Duplicate it and move the copy so two grouped models show on the model list.
  4. Select the copy. Ungroup from the main menu: Edit → Auto Ungroup. The object must be selected or ungroup will not run.
  5. One grouped model breaks into parts on the model list (the live block counts 10 parts on this logo).
  6. After ungroup you can select individual parts of that model. The still-grouped copy stays one model.
  7. Styling example from the live block: select two letters, Scale with uniform scale on, then uncheck uniform scale to change height independently.
  8. Use the Move tool to tuck those letters in, then tuck the outside shape, to get a stylized effect from Ungroup plus Scale/Move.
  9. Recap from the live block: Ungroup is a handy tool you may not always need, but it is there when you do. The live closer also names softwaretraining.co.za search (top right) and the on-site request-a-training-video form if a video is missing.
