Good idea! I'll keep that in mind.

Some quick ideas: auto-seam along hard edges, recognize certain types of surface (for example tubes) that can be mapped automatically, make automatic layout suggestions with similar parts grouped together with an option to quickly mark them for stacking. But I'm just brain-storming here, of course. Getting something good working would probably take a lot of effort, but might be worth it, especially if it hasn't been done before.
