Class Selection Fields in Plugins

[zoomer]

Would it be possible to make the Class Drop down in Plugins

like Door or Window Manager a little longer ?

As we have the option to group Classes by the use of "-" like f.e. :

Windows-Frame-Wood-Dark

Windows-Frame-Wood-Bright

Windows-Frame-Metall-Aluminium

Windows-Frame-Metal-Steel

We get quite long Class Names.

But if the Names get cut in Drop downs like :

Windows-Frame-Wo...

Windows-Frame-Wo...

Windows-Frame-Me...

Windows-Frame-Me...

I will miss the most important last part of the Class Name.

This is even worse if you use names in other languages like

German where the words are often longer than in English.

Also,

if you use any Class Name Groups,

the Drop downs will always use the grouped Form,

even if "Hierarchical Display" is deactivated in Navigation Panel.

But it would often be much easier to choose from Non Hierarchical List,

especially if the Class Hierarchy gets very deep and you have to click

several times to reach the desired class.

Would it be possible to either use the Hierarchy Switch from Navigator

in other Class Menus of Plugins,

or maybe even get a Separate Selection for each Plugin ?

Also the display of the Hierarchical Tree,

when I have a Class Names With a "Super Class" for the Wall corpus

and Sub Classes for the Walls Components like :

Wall

Wall-Concrete

Wall-Wood

I would expect a Hierarchy like :

Wall >

>Concrete

>Wood

But I get 2 parent Wall Classes like :

Wall *

Wall >Concrete

>Wood

I only get the desired Hierarchy when I name my super classes like :

Wall-

Wall-Concrete

Wall-Wood

Which will give something like :

Wall *

>Concrete

>Wood

I don't think it should work that way as it makes the tree much harder

to read.

I agree that all of this needs cleaning up. Maybe Jim could move this to the wish list.

Yes please,

I didn't realize there is a wish list thread.

So the 2015 setting to disable Class Hierarchy in drop downs is great.

But the drop downs haven't got wider, to see longer Class Names

in the Door/Window tools, right ?

Sorry, I hadn't seen this thread before. Moved to wishlist.

Submitting request for accommodating long class names now.
