Is there an easy way to do a flyaround of an object? Like a plugin or lscript or something. Yes I know I am lazy :)

By 'flyround', do you mean Camera rotating around an object?

If so, I'd likely create a scene with a camera Parent null and target null. then use this and load my object in. The beauty if this is, scaling your master null will shift your camera offset so it's a fast way to handle different sized objects.

Master has both camera and target as children and of course, camera aims at target. You could just aim at the master, but I prefer a 2nd null myself.

I guess, you could use LSCript commander to maybe build a plugin to automatically create this - but that's just a guess, haven't actually tried it :)

Yeah that is what I meant by flyaround, and thanks for the script! I don't know why I am always so afraid of Lscripts. I finally got sick of setting up clay renders and created a script to do it. It took like 3 minutes and has saved me a lot of time. I wish we had a macro recorder in Modeler.
