To make the group behave like a regular solid we need to dissolve the group. Modelling > Solid Groups From the solids group manager, select the “register ring” group and click the Right Mouse Button. Select the “Dissolve solid group” option from the pop out menu. Select “Yes” from the following dialogue box to proceed with the dissolve process.
