I don't care if silo provides some color based nameless grouping behaviour for quick-n-dirty visual grouping.

But having worked on a few moderately complicated models, I can tell you I do want the ability to name/label these groups as the complexity increases. Colorspaces can run out especially quickly before you start getting duplicate colors, or at least colors that look duplicate to the human eye.

I think that its safe to say that we all agree on the color system as not being the way to go.

I actually think that selecting objects and hitting a keystroke that automatically creates a group and adds this new group to the
project tree wth a default naming system could be a nice way to go.

Yeah, something a bit along those lines.

I think would be good if you could take whatever was selected, and then add that as an "object set" that will show up in a browser list. An object should be able to belong to multiple sets, which is a lot different than layers - AutoCAD style layers is pretty restrictive in comparison because each object is assigned to only one layer.
