Rhino 8 Feature [Request] : Layer Tree similar to Blender's Collection

Rhino

Hi Rhino Community,

Quite often when working with Rhino I hit a barrier by finding the layer tree to be quite limiting for medium and large projects (mainly involved with ship designs)
I would really like to have the possibility to assign objects in a similar way as collections works for Blender.

(328) Collections - Blender 2.80 Fundamentals - YouTube

A similar request has been discussed in the past
Architecture - Layer Management Workflow? - Rhino / Rhino for Windows - McNeel Forum

I really hope that we will see this feature on an upcoming Rhino version.

Hoi -

A fully-featured “Object Manager” is on the list as RH-54814. I’ve added this thread.
In Rhino 8, a first shot at this will be available as a block manager. Rhino 8 also has a search/filter box in the Layers panel, and, as suggested in the thread that you linked to, you can use named selection sets to organize your scene.
