Tested & confirmed in 2.6 and 2.7pre4. |

I think the problem here is the naming. This function has been there long before the actual grouping feature was added to DR, and its purpose is indeed what you described: to select parts of a func_* entity, previously often referred to as "func group". It's historically named, so I'd propose renaming that DR feature to something less confusing? |

The thing is, it does actually select members of both func_statics and groups, so the name 'Select Group Parts' is fitting with respect to what it does. Only that in the case of the latter it has to be a brush/patch entity, which looks like a bug to me. Is there already another button that's designed for the purpose of selecting group members? |

Not yet, but there's a feature request for selecting members of a group: 0004863 |

Ah, that's good, then we're all set when it comes to the bugtracker with these 2 issues. Looking forward to such a feature. |

Noticing this too and can confirm. This is mostly a hindrance when importing prefabs such as dressers with a lot of parts: You can select the brushes that make up the doors, but cannot select entities such as the key in the drawer or the candle sitting on top: For that you still need to ungroup everything, make your adjustments to those entities, then regroup the entire piece of furniture... very complicated by comparison. |
