LMB to add/open layers node, RMB to open options panel with Replace Layers Node button
- Refresh button is for updating the display after creating or loading new items into the scene. It also randomizes the layer colors for empty layers.
- no layer count number of renderable objects that do not belong to any layer. This count includes child nodes of objects that are assigned to a layer.

- The next field is for the layer name.
-
The menu has options for:
- Select - select all the objects in the layer.
- Add to layer - add selected objects to the layer.
- Empty - remove objects from the layer by removing the render attributes node. Cameras and lights will move to layer 1
- Visible, Locked - visibility and selection locking. shows in the menu name as "menu H L" with H=hidden and L=Locked
- Global, Solid, Solid Wire, Transp, Transp Wire, Wireframe - layer display modes - object mode off, solid wire, transparent, transparent wireframe, wireframe.
- Backfaces, Hidden Lines - additional display options to show back faces and hidden lines in transparent and transparent wire display modes.
-
The number to the far right of each row is a count of all the objects in a layer.
- The Initialize Layers button is the same as the Refresh button with the exception that it also resets the layer names and all layer colors.
- Select Control Point Mesh when active will automatically select the control point mesh for NURBS objects.
- Protect Curve Color the color of a NURBS curve will not be changed by layer assignment.
- Use Empty Layer Color the color of a NURBS curve will not be changed by layer assignment.
- Color default empty layer color
- The script will read modelspace layer numbers, but not the wireframe color.
Notes:
- This version does not connect to modelside and is limited to 24 layers total.
- layer 1 is the default layer
- new scene items don't inherit the layer 1 appearance automatically
- trueSpace will make spotlights, projector lights or cameras visible when they are selected
- characters from old tS versions with hair can be adjusted by changing the hair profile from line to star or circle.
- locking requires installation of the unSelectable script
- Works best with the new locking widget Sept 2020
- RMB on toolbar button to expose panel for replacing the scene layer node = manual update to latest version
- dev note: base tS object render attribute assigned to a group with 1 member, ignores the group and applies it to the lone member
if more than 1 member, it is assigned to the group
