Blockeditor overview with a lot of nested blocks

[Martijn (Martijn de Gier)]

Hi Pascal,

I just started using rhino 8, the block management system has improved a bit but I think it could still use some improvement.

I came across this post:

Rhino 8 Feature: Block Manager Panel

Are there any updates on BlockEdit? I welcome the new block manager panel… but I haven’t found it particularly useful in reality yet, apart from a few features. I use blocks a lot. When working on existing blocks, I rarely use the block manager; I double-click into the blocks. It’s much easier to find what you want visually in 3D than with a long menu of block names. This becomes especially difficult when working with hundreds of blocks with hundreds of nested blocks. It’s extremely clumsy. R…

I think this would be an amazing upgrade to BlockEdit.

Secondly i think the rhino7 blockmanager worked better. Maybe its me, but the screen is just not big enough to have a good view of the blockmanager when its docked in the side toolbars. The old popup screen was nicer to work with I think. (if its a floating toolbar it constantly trying to dock to other toolbars)

Third, the new blockmanager is not sorted. In my image you see I_,D_,€_,E_,€_,G_, (using euro instead of dollar signs because otherwise there was text decoration ) and then later more E_. This is strange right? You would think this list would be sorted.

Thanks in advance,

Martijn
