Hi Alex, thanks for you reply. > Please keep parenting instances to the pivot optional - in many of my > groups, I want the objects to act independently. I see from your > videos that parenting needs to be done after instantiation with a > script; that's fine with me. This is entirely optional and just one use case to demonstrate this feature. But your right, any restrictions like parenting by default wouldn't make any sense. > We could add an option in the GUI to > automate that at a later date. This is also one thing that I have in mind. Would make the work with groups even more user friendly and automated.

This could be easily done. 'instances' is a list of all members so the equivalent api property would be con.owner.members. obj.members obj.group If you want to try it, just grab the windows 32 bit build and example files that shows the feature in action. I could also make a Linux Build as well, but I'm not sure how to build it as dependency free as possible. Any further hints and suggestions are welcome. Thanks for your interest and your time.
