Hi Ludwig,

Yes, actually MoI v5 has a form of hierarchy now with groups.

But having a way to represent hierarchy at runtime is just one piece, the other pieces are reworking import and export and trying to map between somewhat different concepts in each file format.

One problem is that most of the polygon formats that MOI exports to do not have hierarchy, just FBX I think.

Also although groups in MoI are hierarchical they don't quite map to an assembly structure in STEP format which kind of needs instancing in addition to hierarchy.

This previous discussion is from almost a year ago, I don't quite remember the details.
