Moving Between Levels
-
Pardon me if this has been asked a million times. . .
How can I movea group/component from one levelto another? I thought it would be simple enough. Thanks!

Do you mean to move a group/component from a nested group/component?
If so use the 'Outliner' dialog box found in the 'Window' menu. You can drag and drop compnonents or groups in and out of nested enviroments.

Oops, my mistake.
I meant to say LAYERS. Moving between layers!! Silly me. So is it possible? Layer0 being the default layer, etc. I've been very sloppy in using layers thus far. Thanks again.Edit: By changing certain groups' or components' Entity Info, I've been able to change their layers (apparently), but for some of them it just won't work. Why is that?

Well, that's the easiest way and actually "the" way normally. You can also use the Layers toolbar but the results will probably be the same.
If you have any issues ("some of them not working..."), double check if the content is on some different layer than Layer0. "Primitive" or "raw" (i.e. ungrouped) geometry should never go elsewhere. There may still be nested groups/components on all different layers within your groups/components - check that, too.
Eventually copy the troublesome groups and paste them in a new file. Have a look what layers they have "inherited" to get some clue what may be wrong with the original file and/or ultimately upload such faulty pieces here so we can have a look.
