Scenes within scenes?

Box

I'm wondering if it is possible to create a "scene tree" (for want of a better term).

What I mean by that is, for example,

You have a 10 story building, 10 scene tabs to go to each floor.

But each floor has 10 rooms, so 10 more scenes tabs of the rooms on each floor.

Then perhaps 4 scenes of the room.

I'm looking for a quick way for a Non user to navigate a complex structure using an obvious hierarchy. They know they want to look at the picture on the north wall of room 6 on floor 8, so click floor 8 tab, it opens floor 8 with the room tabs, click room 6 tab, it opens room 6 with 4 tabs, you get the idea.

Hi Box, hi folks.

I am afraid that this is not possible.

However, you can rename the scenes like 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, etc.

Or, in your case:

F1R1a, F1R1b, etc for Floor 1, Room 1 view a, etc.

In your example, it will mean 400 scenes. This is quite a lot.

Maybe you can consider using one file for each floor.

Then, you would have only 40 scenes per file.

Just ideas.

Yes it is quite easy to do with a web dialog "machine" - but I am having a lot of difficulty getting my version (Namesets) up to cross platform publishable quality*.

Namesets (see scrapbook or web site) allows the owner to create deep hierarchies of both components and scenes. By circumventing layers (except for dimensions and notes) components can appear in many collections or groupings and can be hidden or shown to create unlimited nested scenes. It also allows cross linking to access data from many different starting points.

If you or anyone else would like to help with this please let me know.

Jean, thanks for the suggestions, I had looked at it that way already but I'm really wanting to be able to work with one file. The size may be prohibitive but I'll get to that eventually.

Chris, Namesets looks very good, I've had a little play with it with my morning coffee. I'll delve into it further later and I'm sure I will have some questions for you.
