I have played with that tool a bit. The problem seems to be that when you get a couple of hundred OU the diagrams are really hard to work with and building a new model sucks in Visio. Hence my thought that for the purpose of putting the concepts together explorer and folders may be workable. Lot of people have done a lot of cool things and i figured asking here may stir up answers that I have both thought of.
