Modifier groups

It would be visually better to be able to make groups for the modifiers of an object, so we can hide/show or move these modifiers easily. Just like how drawing software behave.

It might be nice when you have like 15 boolean modifiers and want to reorganize them or something.

* @qwertquart * What if you the order of the modifier don't match with the modifier group.

I agree but I think it's unlikely to happen. Something similar in functionality should be possible with the node based modifier system they are working on. Unfortunately I think it'll be 2 years before that system is ready.

After my modifier stack is getting spammed more and more with geo nodes, I feel this is something we really need.

looks like a great idea, If it could be combined with something like modifier stack presets its could be very powerful

I think it would be nice to have a thumbnail view of modifiers.

Then what if i make a Boolean operation, bevel operation, again another boolean then how you will group the boolean operation becoz bevel (or any modifier) is in between the two booleans (or any modifier). Tell the solution then.

Great idea.

Instead we can use icon only in modifier tab and whenever we hover over it or click it, it shows the options, otherwise just show icons. also we can make them look like layers just as in photoshop. also they should be closed automatically when we leave modifier panel.

do you mean group twirldowns that reflect the type of the modifiers? (as pictured)

an issue with the picture seems to be that users won't necessarily want modifiers to be applied in an order that coincides with these groups.

Great idea!!!
