Idk how fessable this would actually be but I'd like to see an interactive model planner that you could actually download onto your computer. What I am thinking is a program that you would have to BUY like a set, with one planner for each genre that includes all sets within the genre (so I could use my fantasy planner to design a CWU build and the VW settlements outside the gates as well as the hinterland terrain surrounding them both). Like the ones online now you could have individual items selectable on a scroll bar going up and down the left side of the page while the various sets avalible within the planner are on another scrollbar on the top and controls to modify the item on the right (rotate, flip, print in reverse, move above/below another item).

Rather than being included with your regular downloads (which expire) a link on your account page could take you to the model planners you've paid for. Once a new set is released within a genre you would have to download the updated version of the program with the new elements.
Muti genre sets like hinterland or wildwood grove would prolly have to be included in multiple planers so I could add a graveyard to both a CWU build and a UM build but only elements that are likly to be in that genre to begin with would be availible (so no modern herse in my fantasy planner or ancient herse in my mayhem build). For when you just have to have an item that isn't in the planner you can save the file you are working on and open it up in any of the other planners (so you could mix mayhem elements with firstlight to create a futuristic city with hyperlink terminals and such).
Another solution (with the save and load idea) would be to simply include all multi genre sets in a seperate planner specifically for them.

And since I am talking wishes anyway might as well shot the moon and have a kitbash planner included as well, kinda like another multi genre planner where you have all kitbashes to choose from.

Maybe a more realistic idea would just be a single planner for each set (and any add on sets for it) that allows you to save and reload the file with a different planner to get the same effect (just taking more time due to more closing and opening of programs). Or just one large program and each individual planner is actually a series of icons it can load

I still like using Sketchup for this. Not only can I freely move and rotate things. But I can completely model the pieces at true scale Which allows me work out me kitbash geometry right on the Sketchup piece.

When I make them I just make every piece a separate component so I can just load them right into a new layout. What set they are doesn't matter.
