Selection cube grouping into larger gridsizes

Hi. My idea is to group cubes from the selection box in such a way that, for example a properly aligned 2x2x2 selection can be merged down into a 1x1x1 selection of larger gridsize. Another example is a 32x33x34 selection that is in such a way that a grid-aligned 32x32x32 cube fits in it. That would leave a 32x33x1 array of cubes and another 16x16x1 (larger gridsize) array. Here's a 2D example image, with two solutions, depending on how the initial selection was aligned to the grid.

The point of this being to avoid pointless subdivision of geometry that's within the selection, because sometimes the geometry gets messed up if you try to subdivide it (select it with a small gridsize and move it with SHIFT). This would stop newbies from unknowingly mapwrecking.

yeah nevermind i realised you can't move it around...

I'm sorry, maybe because of me but I really don't get what you actually mean :S.
I know it's about gridsize and changing geometry, but further... ?

Are you, perhaps, thinking of the "remip" function? ;)

vampirefrog just now realized that the selection box is moveable, and possibly that when using the reference cube and different gridsizes before pasting scaling is possible.
Hence the "nevermind". Thread closed, further reading in documentation is suggested.
