Default Grouping below the first level

I am trying to add properies to a group that is more than one level down in the structure. When I select the object property editor, it only brings up the properties in the first level group. Does AC3D support the ability to edit object properties below the first level?

If you keep a name of the objects you are creating you can use the hierarchy view F8, this lists all groups and object which you can select as and when you like!

Hope this helps
Steve

I am sorry Mr. Steve, but I am not following you. It is not the group name, but the Properties Editor for a sub-level group. Select F8, then highlight the subgroup you are interested in assigning properties to, then select F9. It takes you to the properties for the main group, not the lower level group. See my problem?
