That makes sense. Also, do you think a "group" operator should be the
"universal operators" ? Basically, this will be the operator to allow user
to group entities based on some constraints or no constraints, such as
face-group or edge-group in discrete bridge.

I would have changed pqModelBuilderViewContextMenuBehavior::setBlockColor

Sure, I will call you tomorrow morning. BTW, I am very close to get some UI
