panosz:

Is it possible to do the same with Pop-Up Menus inside panels? I mean the way you suggest to hide/show panels?

kalipsotri:

What I’m trying to do is simply the same thing as I can do with the Hidden Panel Group, but with faster access to make it vertical side menu more readable. Because currently is a mess. :slight_smile:

You can try to use this script - command_panel.py.zip (1.05 KB). It allows to open the sidebar and display only 1 tab/category or 1 panel.
Extract it to pie_menu_editor/scripts folder.

Usage (Command tab):

Open panels by tab/category:

from .scripts.command_panel import open_tab; open_tab("Tools")

Open panel by name:

from .scripts.command_panel import open_panel; open_panel("3D Cursor", region='ANY')

Restore hidden panels:

from .scripts.command_panel import restore_panels; restore_panels()
