Hi Rich,
Is "make group from face" a different command that Edit/make group?
I am not seeing that ...is it an extension perhaps?
-
I had to make a keyboard shortcut for Edit/Make Group since I normally never use groups. After that I could select a single face and make the group.
did your keyboard shortcut for Make Group get carried over from the previous version? If not, maybe SU2022 wasn't installed correctly? Right click on downloaded installer, Run as administrator.

No, I've Make Group assigned to SHIFT+G for years. And it still works in v2022 as it did in SketchUp 5

Weird. the following is in SU2022. I select only the face, no edges. Keyboard shortcut to make group.
Did you install SU2022 with Run as administrator?
-
just to be clear, the shortcut works...kind of
I just tested it a little further.
if I select the surface only and use shortcut for make group, nothing happens. If I double click on the surface, thus selecting edges also, the shortcut then makes it a group.
If I select just the surface and go to the edit make group drop down dialog box it works.
So it is something to do with my shorcut not allowing me to make a group from surface only.

"Did you install SU2022 with Run as administrator?"
Yes sir, I did.
I actually have "run as administrator" tattooed on the back of my hands so Dave doesn't have to keep reminding me:)
-
Only thing left to reveal is your shortcut key...
-
fixed
I assigned a different letter to the shortcut then it worked so I switched it back to my original letter and it is still working.
If I had a head scratching emoji I would use it here.

To what did you have it assigned?
I was going to threaten to drive up there to see you do it in person. But I'm warm and comfortable right now so I'm glad you've got it sorted.

Dave, I had it set to the G key then switched it to another letter then switched it back to G.
As for driving over...its winter in Minnesota...no leaving the house.

G is by default mapped to Make Component. So maybe that's why a fresh SU2022 install had a fit.
-
I told it I was ok switching the letter G from its hardwired designation when I made the shortcut.
I have always had to manually redo shortcuts on new installs so nothing new there.
it was just odd that the selection function was funky until I undid and redid the shortcut.all good now though.
