Hi,
in addition to my last idea and as an improvement to it, color marking could get added to the ModelBrowser. If the properties are filtered, so that every column shows only a list of all properties of a kind without double entries, then a temporary color marking could get added to the ModelBrowser. If a column of the ModelBrowser gets selected than color patches with an optimum sequence of contrast get added to the properties and the parts in the model that have these properties get colored the same way. This way the ModelBrowser content can get visualized in a very nice way.
The ModelBrowser as a coloring machine....
