Description
Creates a shape group containing the specified ShapeKey properties. A shape group is basically an abstract way to organize the shape keys in a cluster. These can then be viewed in the shape manager. A shape key can be part of only one shape group.
Scripting Syntax
CreateShapeGroup( InputObj, Name )
