Visualize groups in UVW Editor

Visualize groups in UVW Editor

Issue:

Since 3ds Max 2017 it's not possible to see if a uv-island has already been assigned to a group,

other than selecting it and then clicking the select group button. This makes working with groups a laborious task.

 

Even though the versions prior to 2017 show the group id which a uv-island belongs to,

it is still not obvious which other uv-islands make up the group, other than clicking the select group button.

 

Idea:

The ability to toggle a visualization of the different groups would be a nice feature.

This could be solved by drawing the outline of the bounding box that is formed by the grouped uv-islands.

Different colors per outline will clearly differentiate a group from the others.

Additionally the group id could be drawn at the center of the bounding box.

I love this idea.  It's difficult to discern groups of UVs in the unwrap and this would help a lot.  +1 from me.
