@Graham Rhind: Not sure whether this might be of use. It’s possibly a bit of an academic “Thneed”, but I have occasionally seen it put to good use.

I have StickySorter installed and I am quite sure that it does not require the installation of AllMyApps. That said, given your various clarifications, it definitely is not the kind of software you are looking for.
You might want to try this simple offering instead:

@Slartibartfast - I’ve tried Compendium before when also initially trialling VUE - I think it suffers from overcomplexity. I did download again and try the version 2 beta, but I still can’t get my head around it. For my current purposes, at least, it would involve too much pecking around to try to find what buttons to press to get a basic layout.
@Alexander - yes, I looked at Classic Whiteboard. That’s just a little too much on the simple side - I’d need an infinite board (this one has fixed borders), and being able to drag the objects around would be an asset. But it’s in the right direction.
@ Dr Andus - I was tending in that direction too. The issue is that so many of the nodes and groups are related to so many others that it was difficult to create chunks independent of the whole. I really need a full 3D solution, but also without the complexity - ain’t that always the way. I’m tending to think that printing out out chunks of the whole then linking those in some physical way (thread, pins, whatever, though my wall space is severely limited) might make it more manageable.
Thanks for all the suggestions to date. Any other offerings gratefully accepted!

Graham,
Now that you have discribed it, your project is way out of my scale and so is the Axon Idea Processor. Somethines I visit the site http://web.singnet.com.sg/~axon2000/index.htm and wonder what I might use it for. It came to mind as you related your scaling issue.

Thanks @Bill. That reminds me of VUE with a price tag, and also of a package which was mentioned on this forum and was in beta around the end of 2011 and start of 2012, with a developer I think based in Chile. Can anybody, on the off chance, remember that software’s name?
