Grouping Scenery and advanced mode

Does this new feature mean the 3D gizmo finally works in advanced mode and doesn't screw up orientation anymore?

I've read somewhere that you can't use this feature to select scenery and building pieces at the same time. How useful is the new feature?

its useful....for example....in the past if I wanted to move a bunch of scenery items as 1 group, or save as a blueprint, a bunch of scenery (non building) ittems I would have to add a grid item so it would move as 1 piece. Now we dont have to do that.

You can STILL do the same if you want to add scenery to an existing building. its actually the same button.
Just draw a box around everything you want grouped and hit the 2nd button from the left.

If your grouping scenery items tog the 2nd button from left says: group scenery items
if your adding scenery items to an existing building the same button says: Add scenery items to building.
 
Hi :)
Yes, that feature is quite useful, especially when moving scenery that is not added to a building ;-)

I just wondered how to ungroup a scenery group? I mean there's always the button to take out single parts, but if you have some hundred scenery pieces, you don't want to do that piece by piece, do you?
Maybe I'm just blind, but couldn't fins a button...

Can anyone help?

Have you tried 'Shift' while clicking and dragging the mouse (draw a box)?

Yes, it will still screw up orientation.

The biggest difference is that you can now group scenery only.
