Title: Expand and retract Groups
Post by: Lights On Fifth on June 19, 2015, 09:09:27 AM
Is there any way when you add a group to a sequence that you can expand the group so it shows all of the elements in the group, so you can sequence those elements and then when you are done sequencing that group you can retract it, as it is now if I add a group (IE: a singing snowman that plays guitar) that group would have 12 channels in it, if we could expand it we could sequence that whole group and make t a little easier, as it is now I have to add each element taking up 12 channels, it would be nice to see what others think.

It is on the "wish" list, but for your case, I'm not sure it's needed.    Why wouldn't you use a single "Custom" model with 12 channels for your singing snowman?   You can  expand the nodes out for the 12 channels.  That's what I do for my singing elements.

Another way of explaining this would be on your video where you add the 1's for the count on the models, make a bigger model with 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12 as needed. Done.
