GUI improvement maybe

Post by wieszak17 »

Hello,

Doing some multipart/multibody projects I encounter two things making my work a bit hard.
First: object selection - could it be lets say 'consistent'? I mean same thing selected in tree view as well in 3D view. If I click on part object cointaning bodies in tree view then all of them would be highlighted in 3D view. And if I click anything in 3D view then in tree view would be highlighted _visible_ object containing clicked thing. So if part containing body which feature was clicked is collapsed, then selected is that part, not feature buried God knows where...

Second: what is the logic behind moving position of cloned body to clone object in new body? Wouldn't it be better to set position of clone object to zero and copy position of source body to new body? It is property of body itself not features inside, and clone object is more like feature...
