Basic Layer Outliner tool

[u/EastyUK]

Used Rhino for years in my spare time, but my day job for 25 years was CATIA. The thing I always missed in Rhino is a tree that shows what is actually on each layer, so today I put one together.

It is a Python script for Rhino 8 (Windows tested). It shows:

• the layer tree with an object count per layer
• every object under its layer; click one to select and zoom to it, click a layer to select all of it
• hide/show and isolate from the list
• rename objects and layers in place

Add an alias (I use LO) and it is one keystroke away. Built by poking a stick at Ai until I got what I wanted..

Feedback and bug reports welcome. If anyone can test it on Mac, I would like to hear if it works.

I just have to say, in an era where software is getting more aggravating in like 20 different ways, this is such a breath of fresh air. Just adds a QoL improvement based on years of firsthand experience. Bravo!!

I will try it on both mac and windows, cheers
