In Adobe's Illustrator application, you can select a series of vector objects and select an option called "group". From there you can click on any part of any of the vector objects and simply drag all of them as you need. In max we currently need to select or draw a box around objects in order to move them. This maybe a very minor issue but I thought I'd throw it out there. It could be a very useful UI feature.

i agree - the times ive made dense UI's, ive found myself wishing for grouping. Alternately, layering capabilities (beyond 'add to background') would help in these cases.

I guess subpatchers kind of deal with this but it can be a bit disorientating having to have a bunch of windows open.

I like to see everything in one view, grouping would be a nice solution but it seems hard to imagine what the implementation should look like.

Max should have a UI "group" option
