Question

Can not regroup

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.

    "Unless you're combing multiple files into a single puppet,"

    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.
