Summary

Adding names to geometry sets has some benefits:

  • Makes it easier to understand the spreadsheet.
  • The names could be used on export or when the Make Instances Real operator is used.

This patch isn't ready yet.

  • Find a decent looking layout for the tooltip for nested instances.
  • Show the more informative tooltip in socket inspection as well (that's a bit more tricky, because we don't store the entire geometry for every socket).
  • Maybe pre-fill the name in Object/Collection Info nodes. Currently there is an update issue. The depsgraph is (probably intentionally) not updated when a collection name changes.
  • Hiding label from string socket in Set Geometry Name node needs a ui fix.
