than, I think LMB+pause+LMB will solve all problems.
Yes, that's probably best, providing that double-click will be utilized for something else.

LMB double click has been used for selecting already.

Imagine the following hierarchy:
Code: [Select]
Box1
|-Box2
If you select Box1, which is the parent of Box2, and set the manipulator position to Selection (Manipulator Tools->Pivot(Selection)), its position is averaged between the parent and its children, instead of being located at the centre of the parent (which is the currently selected object).

What is the reason?

What is the reason?
The tool is called Pivot(Selection), so logically it should set the manipulator to the centre of a bounding box of the currently selected object. Or, if it's a selection of multiple objects - to an averaged position of all of their bounding boxes. And this is how it always worked.
But now with the introduction of hierarchy, if hierarchic transforms are enabled, for some reason the Pivot(Selection) tool treats the selection of an object that has children - as a multiple selection - and averages the position of the manipulator.

One can always use Pivot(Object) of course, so this is merely an inconvenience.

When you right click to create a new group, the new group's parent node is unchecked if it is unchecked before you right click it.
No. I mean that objects must be just inside folder not inside object. Just like files inside folder. And looks like it has to stay checked after creation.

Can you show it in images? I am confused. Show what is the current result and what is the expected result.

For new created group, the reason to make it stay selected is to let you know where it is especially when you have a long list.

This is how it should work:
1. We select this:


2. Run - New Group and have to have this:

The new group is created under the selected node. So to get your result shown in your previous post, you should right click "Scene Hierarchy" node to create the new group.

Works, but I think it is a bit complicated. I think it have to work by creating folder at the same level as topmost object from selection and include in this folder all selected objects.

In your way, there is no way to create a new group under a node which has no child nodes.


and tree is collapsed on new projetc.

In what way or steps you started the new project?

By restarting NVil or by command - New. Nothing works. May be settings?

Restarting or New Scene results in empty scene, so there is no contents in the tree.
