Rhino 8 Feature: Block Manager Panel

[Jun_Wang]

Great Block Edit Plugin functions that hopefully will become native

Just want to shed some light on this amazing plugin that has some much needed feature currently missing in the main Blockedit command: Make Unique (currently we have to explode and re-define which is silly) Double click to go up and down the nested block tree (similar to SketchUp) Support editing non-uniformly scaled Block (very important feature) Toggle lock/hide rest, which is also super important combined with (2), when dealing with large complex model with many layers of hierarchy like i…

Thnx @Helvetosaur for linking me here, just gonna link my post and re-iterate the things I’m looking for for the new block edit and block manager:

1. Make Unique (currently we have to explode and re-define which is silly)
2. Double click to go up and down the nested block tree (similar to SketchUp)
3. Support editing non-uniformly scaled Block (very important feature)
4. Toggle lock/hide rest, which is also super important combined with (2), when dealing with large complex model with many layers of hierarchy like in any architectural project
5. Add/Remove objects to/from a given block
6. create block based on an arbitrary CPlane, currently block is defined using WorldXY in default and there is no option to change it even if we change the current CPlane
7. Show block CPlane, which works great together with (6), currently this kind of feature requires grasshopper with block related plugin without doing some coding. Without them working on large complex geometries with block is very challenging.
