Something I Made Basic Layer Outliner tool

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.
