Designer v1 Select All desing VS Ungroup

[camelia]

Hello,

Why the selection of the design is bigger if I choose "Select All" and If I Ungroup is smaller?

Thanks

Interesting. Can you share the afdesign document?

i would activate Split View Mode and outline mode to see if anything inside the group matches the selection area.

It is possible that a object within your group is larger than the visible area..
a. like a large vector contained within a smaller shape
b. remote single pixel present but not obviously visible
c. a rotated object within a group can increase the group container size

Thought of that, too. But ungrouping will keep the size in my test cases

Something is nested in the 3 "(Image") layers (ST, A, & R). Knowing what those items might be could maybe somehow help figure out what is causing this?

yep I have seen things like this before.. the more complex the group ..the more likely it is to occur. Sometimes I get raster images | objects that do the opposite. i. e it clips image to edges of object even though larger...To get around this I usually just rasterize it!

Usually this mostly happens when a group contains rotated objects etc. When you cycle the selection box you can see the Regular bounds vs the Base Box.

In your case it's due to some rotated curves for the head part (aka rotated blue hair curves), when you select those rotated ones you can see that they exceed the bounding box area of your bottom rect. - To fix this for the individual rotated curves ...

1. Copy the rotated curve (just in order to get it's possible applied styles, like gradient flows etc.)
2. Select the single rotated curve layer and perform a geom. add operation on it itself (this straightens/resets the bounding box of a rotated curve)
3. Paste just the style back to the selected curve layer ("Edit -> Paste style" Shift-Cmd-P)

Here's your fixed file, check the outer group bounding box size now and inspect all the rotated layer curves, I might have overseen some which exceed the bottom of your rect ...

It is caused by the Hair and the right arm. Using a Boolean Add messes up the Gradient though.
