BHoM_UI: More advanced interface for BHoM Data #66

Open IsakNaslundBh opened 5 years ago

IsakNaslundBh commented 5 years ago

Adding a small UI window that could help engineers pick any BHoM data based on various parameters would be of great benefit.

Something that could like explode out all the objects in a picked data set into a table and then allow you to scroll through all the data and select one item. Also in long run could start adding various filtering etc based on the various parameters.

Fore example, the RHS sections for the UK_SteelSections. The dropdrown itself is taking 3 seconds to open and has far too many options.

@IsakNaslundBh, I have raise an issue regarding menu navigability in general (see #137 ). I think it covers most of your needs except for the pop-up window with a excel type table to select from. So I believe this could be implemented later than 3.1. If you think implementations detailed in #137 are enough, feel free to close this.

Thanks @adecler .

If it is ok with you, might as well keep this open, but not as a priority for now. I also dropped the severity to low for this. Happy for this to get pushed to 3.1 if no time is found for fixing this now. Think the fixes suggested in #137 will be a massive boost and solve one of the main issues with picking up data (speed and navigation of the dropdown) while I see this issue as something slightly different (as you mentioned).
