Hello there,

I got a set of groups with many components that is a same component, clone’s; so there they are all non unique.  
One of the group needs to be different with equal components and will have a different size.  
Best way to do that is to make all those components of that group as a different unique component.

When I select that group, how can I extract it from the uniqueness from the other groups, but make them as a new unique component.

Select them one by one is a lot of time, and not a fine workflow.

How would you do that; is there some easy trick to do that?

Just open the group for editing, select all of the components inside and make them unique in one step.

Haha, 😆  
Thank you.  
While you where answering my question I would reply back that I could select them from inside the outliner and there I saw that ‘Make Unique’ with the right click contextual menu.

Anyway thank you again. I didn’t see that menu item before. 😊  
They call it menu blindness, I think. 😉
