Paste this into a file with the .rb extension in your plugins folder.

Thanks a lot! Those few lines of code make working with more complex object trees much easier.

The Outliner will let you jump directly in and out of the model hierarchy.

I know, I use it all the time but using a keypress is a bit more quick than moving the pen to the outliner and back again.

Bob, I could put "BackOut.rb" in the Plugin Store, if that would be alright with you.

It's your plugin, all I did was give it a name

Although I wonder if it's worth it for what is practically a one-liner; but I suppose code size isn't always related to usefulness.

This one is worth it

BackOut.rb

Krisidious

looked for this in the plugin store... didn't find it. needs to be there. doesn't seem to work in 2015?

Box

Works fine for me in 2015

Dave R

It does for me, too.

Krisidious

Hmmm...

Krisidious

~~Did you save the rb or make one yourself?~~

That was it... I made the rb last time and this time I downloaded it. it's called backout now instead of close all contexts as I'm used to.

Thanks guys.

Dave R

You could easily edit the text to say that again.

Krisidious

I have... I named it GTFO!

Wow this is just what I was asking for just the other week, but no one who answered seemed to remember it. Maybe it is just my machine but backing out of components is a PITA. So slow sometimes.

Thanks guys for creating and posting this!

Now for the opposite (key command)+click on an entity inside a component to open (edit) that entity's component (/group) to raw geometry level.
