MagicaCSG Feature: New Dragging Method to Organize Multi-Level Subgroups
Added 2024-06-07 22:51:36 +0000 UTCI developed a new dragging method in the stoke list to make organizing the subgroup hierarchy more convenient.
You can move strokes around by pressing one of the selected strokes, and then drag and drop them to another location.
You can move one or multiple strokes/groups all together, and they can belong to different groups or group levels.
When dropping the strokes, you can determine at which group level you want to insert the moved strokes. (The group level is indicated by a bar cursor). This is very handy when inserting the strokes at the end of a group, because the end location may belong to multiple nested groups.
The arrow key ↑↓ in the list menu can only move strokes within the same group.
Enabling the insert key ⓧ in the list menu allows you to insert the new added strokes after the active strokes within the same group, instead of appending strokes at the end of list.
I'm still debugging the codes, so I'll release the new version in prototype tier first this month.
The beta version will be available next month.

Was just thinking about how nice this exact system would be! Very nice work. excited

Vertical lines leading to the parent would also be useful to make it clear at which level of hierarchy the object exists at a glance.
