HI Marky, I'm sure the ArchiCAD method works well but that is fairly different from how groups are handled in 2D vector editing programs like Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Designer, Inkscape, Microsoft Office, etc...

There is near universal treatment of groups in that class of programs and so I wanted to make MoI's grouping mechanism behave similar to those so it would have the greatest chance of being familiar to most people.

There is no concept in any of those programs for having a "suspend groups" / "resume groups" mode so that type of operation would be less familiar for a larger number of people.
