A really helpful feature I would love to see added to Rhino 8 would be the ability to stack rows of layout and view tabs at the bottom of the page. This is helpful when creating a large drawing set or multiple drawing sets within one .3dm file and when you have a lot of named views. I attached a scr…

Hi Brady - would it be enough to have that organization work from the panel and not as tabs? Being able to organize drawings into groups, e.g RH-49935 Layout organization tools -Pascal

The tabs are what make the workflow fast. I wouldn’t be upset if the layout panel included more organization capability but the tabs are where its at. Its just much faster and always right there for you to mess with. When preparing a drawing set you are constantly jumping between the layout(s) you a…

Hi Brady - you may have found this, bu just in case… double-click on a layout in the panel restores it… -Pascal

Yes, I did know that, it is helpful. But again its to much real estate to leave the layouts panel up because your also messing with object properties, clipping plane manager, saved views etc etc. The tabs on the bottom are so close to doing everything the layout panel should do but without having t…

When I have the layouts panel open I usually use it like this (see screenshot) and it definitely helps with navigating between layouts and model space for really large drawing sets. But again, why not just do it all with the tabs at the bottom [Screenshot (64)]

Hi Brady- thanks - I just wanted to be sure that the problem is not solved, or on the way to being solved, in some other way - I understand now why you prefer the tabs. I do not know what the prospects are but I’ll add this to the pile. RH-70179 Viewport layout tabs: stack rows of tabs -Pascal

Any news on this? Working on a large project and would love to name my Layout tabs using descriptive words such as “Basement”, “First floor”, “Section”, “Kitchen” . . . but they take too much space so I’m using “P1”, “P2”, etc. to see all of them together in order to navigate. Stacking would solve …

Hi - [image] Ells Architects: Any news on this? This is not something that is being worked on. [image] Ells Architects: […] but they take too much space so I’m using “P1”, “P2”, etc. to see all of them together in order to navigate. If you are running Rhino 8, have you tried the auto…
