Manual:Layers

Sometimes your scene grows in complexity and the number of objects in scene is gets in your way or slows the refresh rate too much. One solution is to organize your scene elements in layers. You can then toggle all the layers elements visibility with one click.

A layer has six fields:
 * Name
 * The name through which we can refer to the layer.


 * Color
 * The color to draw all objects belonging to the layer except when explicitly stated otherwise.


 * Semi-transparent
 * Combined with the use of layer's color, it can make objects belonging to the layer semi-transparent.


 * Locked
 * When set to true it prevents the edition of objects in the layer.


 * Visible in editor
 * When set to false all objects of the layer are not visible in editor.


 * Visible in render
 * When set to false all objects of the layer are not visible in the final rendered image.

You can create, delete and edit layers using the Layers dialog. You can assign objects to layers using the Model color, layes and flags dialog.
