we use at least 4 graphics every model year and instead of always bringing in A/B/C/D by themselves and building each graphic every time, i found it much easier to leave all the graphics there, layer them, and just turn them off. whenever i get a request for a graphic and colors ill just drop in a new color node and reattach it and move it back down to the correct stack order on the list.
before moving to 3D in this application we used to show graphics in 2D in Illustrator and would have all “A” graphic stripes in their own layer that was collapsible. so instead of seeing every flagship and stripe layer shown and taking up space like the material graph, we could collapse the layers so there were only 4 and when you needed that graphic you could open it up and change what you need and collapse it again when done and was much better for organization not only in the material graph but on the label panel as well, i have to collapse my material and properties almost all the way to see my entire label list because if you have to scroll the list and click a lower one it auto scrolls you back to the top and have to go back down for every stripe. and would be especially more organized when dealing with custom one-off graphics for multiple customers the graph will get clustered if you dont want to bring in each graphic individually every time to keep it clean. where like in illustrator i could have 4 layers for each of my graphics and a layer for custom graphics, and in that layer is customer names when their layer is opened its their custom graphics. it would make keeping all customers for a model year all in the same spot and next model year new file and dump custom graphics and start with a fresh folder.
is there anyway to group labels or can this be added to a wish list?
Thanks!
