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.

Requests:

  1. Can the lists of child objects be collapsed by default? (See GIF for why this is needed.)
  2. It would be amazing to continue double-clicking into nested blocks. This would almost negate the need for point 1.
