WISH: Grasshopper Layers/SubGroupsColor

Hi guys,

It’s been some time since I realized, or started thinking that the group functionality in GH is very limited.

For some time now I have been using the script provided by @DavidRutten in this thread:

But after some time that too became tedious and limited for some definitions or workflows.

I always try to keep my defs tidy and understandable, ever for others, or even myself after a long time of not opening said def…

But grouping and adding labels is so tedious…

  • Only one default color for all type of groups…
  • You have to individually bring forward or backwards a group to be able to edit it…
  • To change labels you must search each one along the definition

Imagine if you had LAYERS for each group…

  • You could change the colors of each groups on the fly…
  • Have different types of groups, for example for sliders, for data management operations, for geometry operations, for heavy computing operations.
  • All your labels would be nicely organized to the right or left, and easy accessible to edit anytime…
  • You could have subgroups, with different colors…

I am interested to know what everyone thinks about this…

Can we at least have GH identify a subgroup (group withing a group) and have a different default color for those?
