Group Blocks on a Grid (such as props and modules)
As we get into more detailing with the unified grid system, a useful feature would be a way to group blocks. This would allow an easy way to delete modules or components from a grid and perhaps could extend into the color tool allowing you to replace colors within the group.
Implementation: This could be implemented as a feature when placing blueprints. There could be an option to "Place as group" on the blueprint screen which would then ensure all the blocks placed are placed in the same group.
Example - Deletion: You place a custom staircase blueprint made with detail blocks as a group. Now that it's grouped, if you need to delete/move the staircase, you can delete all the blocks as a group by pressing Ctrl+Right Click to "Delete group."
Example - Replace Color: You place a space station module as a group attached to your grid but you want to replace all the blue in a module to match your grid. Using the replace tool you press Ctrl+MMB which "Replaces color in group" and it changes only the blue color of the grouped module you just placed.
