Hi Michael,

I'm noticing that the Distribute script is not working properly with groups. I have several groups that I'm seeking to distribute, but Distribute seems to explode the groups into their component parts and then distribute them which makes a bit of a mess. Is it that scripts like Distribute are going to need some additional tweaking to properly work with groups, or is it exposing something with the grouping mechanism itself?

I've manually solved my problem but I've attached it as an example. There are 7 Post-Truss groups that need to be distributed on the Y axis. I realized I messed up and needed to add another post/truss, so I copied one of the existing and the used Distribute to achieve the correct result.

btw, the groups are just a delight to work with for things like this because it makes selecting a bunch of components so convenient.

Also, this is a fairly simple model that I created with v5 beta...not sure what's causing it to be 12.7M, thus the compression.
