Add 'Show in Parameters' to Right Click Menu

Add 'Show in Parameters' to Right Click Menu

When you make an object of feature, it shows up in the timeline, and depending on what it is it also shows up in the browser. 

 

Also, each feature that goes in the timeline also goes into the Model Parameters, as would be expected for true parametric modeling. The problem comes when you need to actually find this feature within the paramters. They are currently presented as a basic drop down list, without color coding, or exslucion based on what you are working on. In large models, finding the feature parameters you were just working on can be a bear. Often, we may want to define a parameter based on a function or variable, but the parameter is not so important that it needs to be favorited for future access.

 

I propose that when you right click a feature in the timeline (or in in the browser depending on the feature) you get an option for 'Find in Parameters' in addition to 'Find in Timeline' and 'Find in Browser.'

 

Clicking 'Find in Parameters' will open up the parameter window and automaticlly scroll to the feature, Expand any tree structure it is contained within, and highlight it so it is easily identifiable.

I agree this could be very helpful.

But further I need a dropdown list of 'User parameters' in the edit boxes.

If I create a 'User parameter' I have to enter it's full name in an editbox.

What I wish to have is that my 'User parameters' appear in an dropdown list below the edit box for easy access

Thanks...
