Importing identical items

(just continuing the discussion from 7.1 Performance. I thought my reply would go too much off topic)

Well, in my above example, I made the three groups instances of the same component - certainly however SU keeps track of "instances" of the same group, too.
The idea of recognising identical items is really good. The above workflow for groups to components is very useful, but
what if an imported model contains a texture that has already been in the model?
Then you have the material twice. You select all entities and replace one material instance by the other in the entity info dialog box.But if I import a collada model (originated from Sketchup), it's texture pins are infinitely far away (just like the pins of GE terrain). Different texture coordinates - applying the same material won't work.
