CR: Modify Instance Data Enhancements

The MID Tool should be better about handling nested objects. In the AEC/BIM world, spatial containment and assembly modeling is a given.

1. The MID tool should recognise Cells and scan the contained objects for Datagroup info, and not just report 'Instance data does not exist. Use the Add tool to attach new Instance Data to element.'

2. The MID tool's dialog box has a 'heirarchy' panel, which should show the nested elements with Instance Data attached. This would allow the user to modify the nested instance data without having to drop/TFREMOVE the objects.

As mentioned above, spatial containment and assembly modeling is very important in today's BIM world. It would be good if the DataGroup system recognised this.
