Hi Bob, sorry no currently MoI does not have functionality in it for making groups or components that know their own orientations. Those are definitely things that I want to add in the future though.

At the moment the closest things to grouping available are assigning object names or styles to your set of objects so they can be selected using the Scene Browser, or also by typing the object name into the XYZ input control.

If instancing is very important for your work Moi probably won't work well for you right now since it does not have that kind of function in it as of yet.

The main focus for MoI is more on drawing things and creating an individual object in a fluid and easy way.
