When I press CTRL+G it wont make a "sub group" under Head, to make a "turning head group".

Unless you're combing multiple files into a single puppet, you're likely better off doing the grouping in PS or AI. Ch Beta 5 (released today!) is better about preserving changes across structure changes, so make sure you upgrade first.

Also, by doing structure changes (i.e. grouping changes) in PS/AI, you'll see the same hierarchy in Ch. Grouping changes done in Ch aren't reflected in the .psd/.ai file.

Could you kindly explain this, i.e. give or post an example? (I know what you mean technically but not in effect…) Thank you…

You can import as many PSDs / AIs as you want, and can drag them together to create a franken-puppet of sorts. So I could have and eyes.psd that I mix with a mouth.ai on a bird.psd. This is even easier now with the new shareable puppet filetype.

Also, for the original question - grouping in Illustrator can be weird. I always select the parts I want on the canvas, not the layer panel, and group from there.
