How to set GroupIds (c1) in object (.obj) file?

The VTK reader of OBJ does not actually split the geometry in group such as a multi-block. But in vtk.js we do have that freedom. Taking the vtk.js implementation of the OBJ reader and converting it in Python as a Python Plugin Source would allow you to produce a multiblock and start leveraging coloring and visibility control within ParaView and therefore in Visualizer.
