Folders for Items

Post by A.D.STUDIO »

In order to keep projects with a large amount of items organised, can we please have folders? They would NOT function like "grouped furniture", and would have visibility settings still functional for items within the folders.

You could organize your large project by levels.
We have this option on the furniture list.

Thanks Doris, I'm looking at that at the moment. I think I'd still want the folders though.

Don’t hope for these folders. The main problem is how to make something visible again if it’s not listed somewhere.

Maybe I'm missing something, but the item would not be removed from the folder when invisible, it would be greyed out with the visibility checkbox checked. Thanks!

This is for organising a bunch of related objects but which are not considered to be combined into one furniture piece. Also for different arrangement options.

Just in the bottom left pane, I don't know what it's called, the list of objects/items/models deployed in the project.

The furniture list displays only furniture and not a mix of the various items displayed in the plan.

I understand. What I'm asking for, is the ability to sub-folder them.
