Currently CEA's interface consists of only two parts: map on top and attribute table at bottom. Also, the height of the table is limited to show only 9 rows.
When having a lot of buildings (in our case, 355), the length of table is so long that the scroller on the right hand side is no longer useful anymore. Moreover, it's really hard to find one of 300+ buildings within this width.
Depending on possible difficulty of implementation, I could imagine the following use cases:
- the bottom edge of the table is able to be dragged, as one would adjust their size of software windows, to help show more rows;
- the layout of software can be adjusted to a horizontal one, where map sits on the left and table on the right, to better utilize the currently popular 16:9 screen ratio.
- A heavy user of CEA might need a second vertical screen, so if the table could become a pop-out window and show even more rows on the screen, that would be even more useful.
I understand the fact that CEA is still a software mainly for research use and processing of building data should set to be priority in its roadmap, but this would be beneficial to user experience in the future. Thanks for taking time reading my thoughts and looking forward to any progress from the CEA community!
