Motivation
DAVE uses nodes for everything, and nodes are kept small.
This means that models can contain many similar nodes. For example bollards on a quay side or on a vessel.
In such cases a matrix like editor with copy-paste options to spreadsheets (excel, calc) can be a real help.
Proposed implementation
Use the grid-editor as basis, this is already in use for the footprint vertices.
Rows:
Nodes.
Use a node-selector to sub-select nodes from the scene.
Columns:
Property values
Should be single value settable
