I opened a tabular model, and some of the measures are already in folders/subfolders, There is no visibility for that in visual studio, I see all of them under 'Measures'.

I try to edit manually the property window, to see if I can change the folder, but I am unable

This is very puzzling, not sure how can I create new folders and move the measures.... I also don't understand if there is a folder structure why VS only shows a default 'Measures' one....

    Hi,

    This property is set for the client side, i.e. when users using Excel Power BI or SSMS etc. to browse the tabular project, they could see the correct folder/subfolder stucture.

    The VS is following another logic here that they arrange all the measures under one object category.

    You could check detail here : Setting Display Folders in Analysis Services Tabular 2016
