Option to group surfaces not available in the Geometry context

Colinda

I have a .step file and made a mesh on it.
Then I realized that several surfaces needed a refinement. So I wanted to group these.

I go back in the Geometry context and select the surfaces (all under the same boundary) and right-click.
To my surprise the option to group them does not appear. 

When I open the same step file in a new project from scratch and try to group these same surfaces, it works. So I guess there must have been something in the process of setting up the domain and mesh that caused the grouping to no longer be available. But I can’t figure out why.

    The group option does not appear when the mesh is already generated.

    Go to the Mesh context and right-click on the Mesh setup of the previously created mesh. Select to delete the mesh. It is not necessary to delete the mesh setup, so the settings will remain available. 

    An alternative is to use Local selections in the Mesh context. This does not require to delete the previously generated mesh.
