Tabbed project browser

Tabbed project browser

Give the project browser tabs for: views, legends, schedules, sheets,families,groups,links,assemblies. This would greatly reduce the amount of scrolling/collapsing/uncollapsing

As in creating individual browsers specific to your needs with relevant
tabs?
I would like to see them setup as independent of each other e.g. if you
wanted a browser exclusively for floor and ceiling plans and another for
elevations and sections or do you do one explicitly for views, the mind
boggles.
The same would apply if you wanted a browser exclusively for schedules or
another for combining legends and drafting views or any other combination
just as an example
This would be controlled by filters?

It would be helpful to be able to split the project browser into two separate windows, one project browser dedicated to views and one dedicated to sheets. This would make navigating between sheets and views much easier.

@kimberly_fuhrman-jones , @wr.marshall  Whilst this idea heading is tabbed browser, not sure if @garrettwilsonV9QQ7 is asking for what has already been implemented, or more to be able to separate and undock these tabs, maybe like in this idea for further improvement of the tabbed browser: side-by-side-viewing-of-tabs-in-the-project-browser 

 

I know I seem to spend a lot of time switching between view and sheet tabs (but a hell of a lot less time than I used to spend scrolling before the tabs were introduced) so would love to be able to have them both visible at once.

I believe that @garrettwilsonV9QQ7 would like to see the new tabbed browser to have the ability to undock any of the tabs and run that as a separate browser.

I would like to see that too if it gets enough backing.
