Place Replicate?? Moving circuits from top layer to bottom layer.

So I tried in Presto to move a bunch of components with tracks and then shove them to the bottom layer and it makes a huge mess.  In Altium, I could just grab stuff, flip it to the other side and it's done.  With Presto... I can, but it's a mess.  Some parts seem to flip, some tracks and shapes don't?  

But if I group them into a replicate thing, then I can move them and shove them from top to bottom and the routes and placement stays correct.

Is there a way to do this without using the replicate thing???

I can't for the life of me figure out in Presto how to ungroup stuff.  Once it's grouped... it's locked and I can only move the group.  Anyone know a work around or way to ungroup stuff in Presto without having to back to non Presto?

    I tried putting up a link  to the training video showing how  to place replicate, but not showing how to undo it, but it's getting flagged.
