Projection to new polygroup feature into volumes then subtract or delete the difference/shell

Hi Pixologic team! We could have used this feature to help create new simple & fast subdivision levels from high density Dynameshed subtool or multiple into one polygroup.

Workflow:
1.Insert a new polysphere subtool, or initialize a model to a sphere at your ideal lowest ploycount and scale the physical size larger than the model you want reprojected
2. With just the subtools you want reprojected with visibly the highest density on select the polysphere subtool, use project to new polygroup feature, press project button and the new polygroup of the model should exist inside the sphere. Control-shift the outer polygroup shell to hide and or delete it if desired or use it to expand develop further.
3. Add new subdivision levels on the new hatched polgroup/subtool model and at the highest subD level reproject with the “project to polygroup feature turned off” .

This method/feature name could be rebranded as Hatch Polygroup and in the tips simple instruction -hatch polygroup from egg method for ideal & quick subdivision level .

Perhaps this project to polygroup feature could additionally have preserve polygroups option as well from multiple subtools with their own polygroups.

Just FYI, I am familiar with the freezing subdivision levels, zremesh or dynamesh method then unfreeze etc but it’s tedious and hard to get extremely low polycount and quality reconstruction at lower remeshed levels. With my method we should be able to have the lowest polycount/polysphere and the most ideal polycount would be created inside that once the high density subtool is projected to the highest subdivision level on the polysphere model.
