Does exist a Component maker?

Does exist a plug that make from each objects of a selection some components or group?
If a selection has 20 circles: that must make 20 components or 20 groups
Thx by advance

Yes! It was my first script I released, called loose to groups. Not a great name I know.
But It does exactly what you want. I use it often in modeling cities and I quickly make hundreds of block houses and buildings. I run the script on them afterwards to turn each one into its own group. The current released version on smustard.com, but it does not work with a selection. So I re-wrote about a week ago. Here is my newest version. I'll update it on smustard once I get some kinks worked out, but I think it will work for what you need.
Warning, save your model before running this script. I have had no problems with it, but Jim said it bugsplatted for him.

Yes, it is not designed to work like that. It sees that whole thing as a single piece, and therefore turns it all into one group.
It works by using a "all_connected" method in ruby. So it takes the first entity in the selection - which in your example would be one of the selected edges. Then it finds "all_connected" to that and turns it into a group. Its exactly like triple clicking an edge of one of those shapes, It would end up selecting the whole thing.
I've got an idea that might make it do what you want, without too much coding changes. I'll se if I can get it posted later today.

Cool
And if it's possible to apply the "hole selection" to a volume
that will an another perfect plug!
