This script is intended to convert group into editable Poly.if you have multiple groups selected it will create multiple editable poly objects ( one editable Poly per group). It support nested groups (group within group).the script has no interface, it's just a button, here is the default icon , once installed you just need to have one or multiple groups selected and click the button and that's it, no fancy options.

for installation it's the same as usual, drag and drop in the viewport, then go to customize, customize user interface, tool bar, category "SimonScripts"

update1.4: some bug fixed with instanced objects, and the script now keeps editable mesh as editable mesh to avoid unwanted edit poly on sketchup or other CAD software imported models that doesn't like edit poly...

update1.5: more bug fixed

Version Requirement: 
tested on 3dsmax 2020, 2023 and 2024

thx for the feedback, glad you like the script:)
I've added support for lights, they are now parented to their corresponding editable Poly

greet script

this is a great script but I suggest you to make it even better by checking if the group has lights then the lights objects will be linked to the final result which is the editable poly object
good luck
