In the Customization Forms regions ID has incomprehensible logic, as it seems to me.
For example:
modx-resource-settings and modx-page-settings, why 2? In my opinion modx-resource-settings is not used at all.
There are seemingly clear areas - modx-resource-main-left, modx-resource-main-right; modx-page-settings-left and modx-page-settings-right. But then an incomprehensible fragmentation begins: modx-resource-main-right-top, modx-resource-main-right-middle and modx-resource-main-right-bottom, although the region on the left does not have splitting into top/middle/bottom. modx-page-settings-* has modx-page-settings-box-left and modx-page-settings-box-right - now boxes appeared.
Why is it so difficult?
Suggested solution(s)
I propose to create a fixed number of regions (2 columns by 3 rows) for "Resource", "Settings" and "TV":

I use modx-resource-settings frequently to add TVs to the Document tab if I need to put them under both of the columns instead of inside one of the columns. This way, I can add full-width richtext fields there, for example. In some cases, I have resources that use a lot of custom text fields, and not the main Content field. Since there is no way to put TVs in the Content area when the content field itself is turned off, modx-resource-settings is the only way to do this.
Yes, I was wrong, modx-resource-setting can be used.
But in general, this is an issue about consistency, i.e. If there were regions with a clear name, it would be easier.

Suggested solution(s)
I propose to create a fixed number of regions (2 columns by 3 rows) for "Resource", "Settings" and "TV":
modx-resource-main
-- modx-resource-main-left
--- modx-resource-main-left-top
--- modx-resource-main-left-middle
--- modx-resource-main-left-bottom
-- modx-resource-main-right
--- modx-resource-main-right-top
--- modx-resource-main-right-middle
--- modx-resource-main-right-bottom
modx-resource-settings
-- modx-resource-settings-left
--- modx-resource-settings-left-top
--- modx-resource-settings-left-middle
--- modx-resource-settings-left-bottom
-- modx-resource-settings-right
--- modx-resource-settings-right-top
--- modx-resource-settings-right-middle
--- modx-resource-settings-right-bottom
modx-resource-tv
-- modx-resource-tv-left
--- modx-resource-tv-left-top
--- modx-resource-tv-left-middle
--- modx-resource-tv-left-bottom
-- modx-resource-tv-right
--- modx-resource-tv-right-top
--- modx-resource-tv-right-middle
--- modx-resource-tv-right-bottom
Or we can make 3 columns by 3 rows (left-to-right: left, middle, right; top-down: top, middle, bottom).
