Hi,
Thanks very much for the suggestion, we're always grateful for the feedback. We had a similar idea in the past, but because of its complexity it wasn't implemented yet - we'll evaluate its implementation in future releases - it might require major changes in the core and it'll need to be investigated more in deep by our main developers. Let me add, that in the latest 3ds Max, the Attach or Merge mode of the ShapeBoolean object might help.
Best regards,
