Impossible to rotate a group

Even if you select a group of objects, all the individual objects pivots are seen while selecting this group, instead of a single pivot that should correspond to the group. Then if you rotate the group, it will rotate all the parts, arround their individual pivots destroying the 3d model.
It seems that nobody is really working in Studio....
this is too basic!!!!!

it happens when you use "center pivot" option....otherwise it works well, but pivot point is 0,0,0 i think.

If you have an object in MXS format which is made of several objects, inside a group, then you import it to your current scene, there is no way to rotate as a single object, because although center pivot option was never used, all the pivots will be in diferent places deppending on the objects that are inside the group.
Anyway, even if all the pivots were in a diferent place, Maxwell Studio should have ONLY ONE pivot for the group!
And that should be the rotating pivot in case of group sxelection!
The wrong thing is that now if you select a group, it will use the parts pivots!

Yes, this is currently what we have. We'll take care of this as a wish. Thank you for reporting.

thats one of the reason why i gave up using MST..
this application, let's admit it, work well just for texturing completely finished model.... no rethinking is allowed whitout much pain...
too bad because the texturing is instead much easier than using the native application with the plugin....
