Use these options to set what happens when you select Edit > Ungroup. See also Group objects together.
Ungroup Under
Ungroup objects under one of the following:
- Parent
-
Puts all objects under their lowest common parent in the hierarchy. If there is none, then it puts the objects as the world level.
- World
-
Puts all objects at world level (at the top-level of the hierarchy).
- Preserve Position
-
When on, Maya preserves the transformation information of the group. If off, the ungrouped objects lose their grouped transformation attributes, therefore changing their position when ungrouped.
