Group manager?

Hello!
Is there a group manager in rhino?

I see a few references to an Object Manager panel but not seeing this in Rhino 8 and the youtracks are still open.

A few wishes for the pile (3- Group Names)

Hi Ivan - In the Rhino 8 WIP, there’s the Object Manager panel (which will change its name at some point). This one also shows groups in the document. It’s still very early in the development of this and I see that it doesn’t support nested groups at this point. I placed that on the list as RH-66499. -wim

Here are the available group-related commands:

• Group - Organize selected objects into a single group (ref)
• Ungroup - Remove group status from objects (ref)
• AddToGroup - Add an object to an existing group (ref)
• RemoveFromGroup - Detach objects from their parent group (ref)
• SetGroupName - Name a group (ref)
• SelGroup - Select a group by name (ref)

Group management is command-driven rather than panel-driven, unlike blocks. If you are using the object more than once a block offers a lot of possibilities. Group is just a selection set and is unique.

Thank you. I found groups are too limited for my use case and finicky in such way that if you have 3 lines in one group and 2 of these lines at the same time in another group, clicking on certain line might select all 3 or only 2.
Its undesired behavior for my use case, so I switched to blocks instead. Which has its own challenges.
