+1 yes please... Its a terrible system. I'm hoping there is a solution I haven't stumbled across yet. Can we partition the outliner and assets in any way (without using filters). Haven't used reference assets yet, but assume they would still show up anyway...

And while you are it, make it possible to parent this sets to assets or something. I can only imagine the total mess of having all the sets on the same level when importing references. there is no harm in asking, right?

Set driven keys is a perfect example. We're not really talking about that though. We're talking about membership of a container where its a one to one relationship. 1 set to 1 object. Its either a member or not. I equivocate it to a parent-child relationship. Which you can do in the Outliner. Hope this can be considered for workflow enhancements in the future. Best, Eric T.

It's unified and consistent in that way. it's possible that in the future Maya's Outliner will be more like XSI's explorer but that doesn't help you right now so I don't preface my posts with theoretical blah blah blahs. We started to introduce something like relationship editors later in Softimage's life with the XSI Explorer, set driven key, keyable parameter editor, etc. Rejean was a big fan of having views with two Explorers side-by-side like Maya's relationship editors.
