script for grouping?

I'm pretty blown-away by Max's ability to add dimensioning capability in a script! Great work!

It makes me wonder if someone can create a script that groups and un-groups objects. This is the OTHER major missing feature that I could really use in MOI.

I imagine such a script would create a boolean-union object from the group members that MOI would render normally, but would contain data hidden from MOI that would define all of the objects that make up the group. Un-grouping would simply delete the boolean-union object and replace it with the formerly hidden data.

Anyone up for this? (I might give it a try myself, after Burning Man.)

Many thanks!
Christopher
