In Rhino any object is solely visible in viewports. It would be very handy to have objects lists, listed objects in the layer manager, or in a schematic view like grasshopper. That way it would be much easier to organize scenes, select invisible objects, see groupings, dependencies, materials and s…

Hi Wim, I would really appreciate it, if you could also add these suggestions to YouTrack. Thank you very much! [Rhino_Wish_Object-Browser_9] [Rhino_Wish_Object-Browser_4-5] [Rhino_Wish_Object-Browser_3] [Rhino_Wish_Object-Browser_1] [image] Rhino 9 Wish List Rhino …

You’re inventing hierarchies that don’t exist. You’re not asking for an object browser you’re asking to turn Rhino into SolidWorks. Please try to apply your concepts here to models with hundreds of objects containing thousands of surfaces and see if they make any sense whatsover.

In Alias, the software names each surface type with a specific name so one knows which of the many types it is, also very useful when working together on larger projects (think aircraft seat, “Kei” car style inner city delivery vehicle, or modular combine harvester), and, together with the Object Li…

[image] JimCarruthers: Please explain how 500 lines of this would be useful to anyone. This is called “cherry picking”. You pick a very specific case to argue against something. Wether something is useful to someone or not is their decision and very much depends on the circumstances. Of cour…

It would be useful to see objects as node or in a scene lister as text or in the layer manager. That way you can see the dependencies between objects, material associations, groupings, what is in a layer, hidden objects and so on. If you have hundreds of objects in the scene, you see them, are able…
