Move to Subassembly

I've selected a few parts and hidden the unselected. Isn't there a way to move these parts to a new subassembly?

    maybe there is something in your selection that won't allow it to be moved to a sub assembly.
    I believe if it can't be done, it is omitted from the list. (rather than greying it out)

    But you should be able to drag parts in the tree into an assembly as well.
    So, insert a new blank assembly, or click one of the parts and make a new assembly, then do your selection again (minus the first part)
    then drag them in through the tree.

    Rather than selecting the parts in the model, select them in the instance list. Then "Move to new subassembly" should show up. I'm not sure why it works this way (maybe because you click and select faces and not parts?), but that's what has worked for me.
