Hi DesuDeus, re: folders for styles - that probably would work a lot better than trying some kind of "parent style / child style" type thing.

I've added that to the wishlist here: http://moi3d.com/wiki/Wishlist


But some of what you are describing may be better organized by Groups, like you mention "First floor doors", but probably for styles you would not normally want to have special looking doors just for the first floor. If you wanted to have some structure that had something like "All doors" with "First floor doors", and "Second floor doors" as children of it, that may be something that will work better with using Groups to organize them and hide/show/select them rather than using styles for the organization method.

But we'll see more about that when I get a chance to work on a Groups mechanism in v3.

Well I use colors (materials) to separate my meshes
For example all the door frames have the same material (separate objects, different geometry, but same mats)

I divide all the scene like this
So having layers only in groups would be kinda difficult for me to get used to

Thanks for the toggle script, it works great !

Do you have any timeframe for beta 3 ?

Right, but in your post above you wrote:

         For example you got a folder called "First floor doors"

So I thought you might be talking about some organization where you had something like "First floor doors" and then "Second floor doors" as separate organization groups.

That's possibly the kind of a thing where you might want to use Groups additionally since you could have separate groups for "First floor doors", and "Second floor doors", but have common materials between them.

Well, the idea is that you could use Groups at the same time as Styles, not just only have all one or all the other.


Some kinds of organization may be different than their visual look, like separating things into "first floor" and "second floor".


> Do you have any timeframe for beta 3 ?

No, not yet. It may take a couple of months or so from the end of v2 until the first v3 beta.
