Group Manager: Organize Scene Objects with a Tree Graph - iClone Python Plugin (FREE)

This Group Manager plug-in is a utility that creates layer controls for iClone. When using Group Manager, every object that is created within iClone is placed under a group - usually the World group. Each group has it's own properties - and each object assumes the properties of the group it exists under. Group can operate on its child elements in a single operation such as toggling visibility. Once the Group Manager is initiated a dialog window will appear containing operational instructions and a default group containing everything in the scene (Group_0). You can create a new empty group by right-clicking on an empty area and assign it items from the default group. You can also double-click on the group label to rename the group and toggle the checkmark beside it to show/hide items belonging to that group.

．Create a scene tree graph for organizing scene objects.
．Drag to arrange the selected item to preferable groups, or subsume certain groups under another group.
．Show/hide multiple objects in the same group at once.
．Rename and adjust the layer order.

iClone is the only 3D app I know of that doesn't allow standard copying, pasting and grouping of objects. And this plug-in does nothing to address that. You can't even move or scale the relevant group with this plug-in... only show or hide. Worse still you can't select ten items at once and put them in a new layer. You have to do it one at a time!
