# Saves a new version of your current scene. Requires the scene to have been saved previously.
#	- Searches for an existing version that follows the pattern 'sceneName_vXXX.lxo'
#	- Any number of digits can be used for the version number: the script will respect the existing number padding.
#	- If no version is identified (e.g. "sceneName.lxo") the script will append '_v001' to end of the scene name.
#	- You can configure the padding for this First Version by setting the FIRST_VERSION_PADDING variable

# Group Meshes By Model

# DESCRIPTION
# - Adds a new command, GroupMeshesByModel(), which can be called from a key assignment or shelf button.
# - For selected model nulls, finds renderable items and groups them according to their source models.
# - Groups the following: meshes, pointclouds, instances, and hair.

# INSTALLATION
# This is a self-installing plugin, so place it in your user scripts
# or similar folder in the workgroup of your choosing.
