Level visibility management
An idea of improving level visibility management:
1. Replace tabs (representing levels) with a simple list of levels with check boxes for visibility. Then only the levels marked as visible would appear as tabs. The tabs for levels marked as invisible would not be displayed at all.
2. Levels could be grouped together (perhaps in a similar manner like furniture currently can).
The rationale: It is increasingly difficult to navigate in a project with growing number of levels. Since we basically use levels as layers (e.g. walls, dimensions, furniture, wiring, plumbing, lines etc.), the number of levels can grow rapidly, especially in a larger project (mine is currently over 50 levels). Switching to a desired view takes a lot of effort, often going through a search among tabs that spread horizontally in multiple rows and unnecessarily clutter the view, and performing multiple mouse/keyboard actions for a relatively simple task.
I would be grateful for any improvements in terms of level management whether it is directly in the main app or in the form of a plugin. I hope I'm not the only one...
