ADDON UPDATE TIMELINE
Version 1.1 -

KNOWN ISSUES
- Only works with meshes at the moment as the addon uses vertex data and triangles to find duplicates. This is something we are currently working on fixing.
- Can’t color instances after putting them in a group. Should be a simple fix with addon code.
