[REQ] Open nested component
-
Did anyone ever make a plugin that would provide a click command whereby when clicking (or double-clicking) on an entity the component--however deeply nested-- of that entity would be open for editing? (to avoid a lot of double-clicking working on a complex model). This was discussed here before. Is there a method?
Is this a "Doh!" thing I have missed? Regards, Peter

What if you use the Outliner? You can double click on the component, no matter how deeply nested, and open it directly.
-
As Dave said, the Outliner let you jump straight into a nested instance.
Currently the Ruby API doesn't let you open up groups or components - so I cannot be done with an extension.
-
I think it would take me a long time to drill down through the outliner. I guess if I knew the exact name of every component by heart. Double clicking is faster in this case.

How deep are the nests?
-
Say 7 nests for some. It is so many because I would have a door that has door parts, for example then I put it in a house that has house parts in a project that has multiple buildings. I notice that it takes a pause after each double click too or nothing happens. Not exactly killing me... Just thought someone had a one-click trick.
Actually what I like to do sometimes is edit separate buildings in a separate file and reload the component to the site from there. Keeps it more manageable.
