Decide on design for switching between geometry contexts in regards to the node inspection
Closed, ResolvedPublicDESIGN

Description

Needed as result of D10875: Spreadsheet: Show data of node.

Issue:

  • When selecting a node for data inspection it is not immediately clear that you have to switch the spreadsheet context to Node
  • Having no node selected for inspection has no implied functionality when Node is selected as

Initial Proposal/Ideas:

  • Make the toggle on a node to set it as inspected an actual toggle that can be turned off so that no node can be set to be inspected
  • Rename Final context to Evaluated OR add additional Evaluated context
  • Remove Node context and let the inspected node context override the Evaluated context when a node is set to be inspected
  • When no node is set to be inspected the Evaluated context displays the same as Final

(Instead of Evaluated it could also be a new Modifier context, that defaults to the output geometry of the active modifier if no node is selected)

Comments:

  • The preview of geometry in the 3D viewport has to also be considered to work with this design
