How to tell if a node is a group node?

Rate this thread

I need to be able to ungroup on a group node I might encounter after a “pickWalk -d up”. I also want to recreate the group later on.

Is there a way in MEL to specifically detect a group node (as would be created with the group command)?

The group and ungroup commands are NOT queryable. Using something like “ls -sl -st” on a known group node returns “transform,” which doesn’t help.

Thanks
