Hey,

we've got a bunch of coloured network boxes which colour collections of SOP's – great for navigation. It'd be noice if the Network Overview also showed these (coloured) Network Boxes. Instead, it just shows the sops.

regards,
ben.

PS. Is there a way to check if this is already RFE'd?

Yes there is a way to check if this is already RFE

In case of NetBoxes shown with their colours in the overview, for example, this *IS* already an RFE.

I think a good solution to this type of thing is to use the exact same algorithm that's used to draw the main network view at a zoomed out level for the overview. (Nuke does this and you can actually resize the overview and gain more detail and differing zoom levels)

Just an idea,

this might allow for an idea that kicked around a while ago…
drag a node from the main network and drop it into the overview box to reposition it…
