Idea for Selection and Visualization Filter

Feature requests
#1

Hello Defold Developers, my name is Felipe Reis and I’m from Brazil. I’m posting here one of my first ideas for Engine.

I use many different types of editing programs, most of them have in their Outline panel options that allow me to allow or not the visualization and selection of an object within my work scene.

I’ve always found this option very interesting, as well as very useful when we’re working on huge projects, for example.

In this print I put the image of Defold and next I put two editors that I also use: Blender and VSDC.

I honestly miss these features inside the engine!

Defold:
print_01
Blender:
print_02
VSDC:
print_03

OBS: I also thought about being able to put names in the collision boxes!

You can hide the objects, right click on the object, Hide Objects.

I haven’t seen this option yet!
Still I believe Developers could put these side selection and view keys. This would make the workflow easier for many!
I hope that in the future they will rethink and implement, as the main software on the market has this option.

I wrote a ticket for this, vote if you would like it to be taken into consideration! :slight_smile:
This might be possible to add such visibility buttons, as Show/Hide functionality is already available in Editor context.
