Hi,  
I have been working with OBJ’s to and from Rhino lately, and found that if I import OBJ as group and import a second time, then it adds it to the existing group.

Which is a problem if I unselect, do something, then select and scale, move, rotate etc with out knowing that I also manipulate the “mother group”.

Hi Jorgen- thanks, I’ll check that… What is expected here? The group has a name… should the name be incremented with a number or something on the second import?

Thanks.  
I would expect either a warning with a choise to add or make an increment group, or just automatically get a new group with incremented name.
