Layers & Modeling

[uzik]

I'm not familiar with layers. I do frequently
right click and hide objects while working
on other bits from the radial menus. What
are layers? It might be something I don't
know your name for that I do use.

Layers is a REALLY good idea if you are doing anything that is in layers in real life.

In other words.....

Architectural: Floors, roof, trusses, etc...)

Mechanical: Pneumatics, treads, casings, etc...)

I suppose you could even use it for just about anything.

The problem with Hiding, is that to Unhide, you have to sift through names and all that blah blah.

With layers you can turn a whole set on and off faster.

Im a reformed CAD guy, and layers are DEATHLY important in CAD, so the new layers in MAX get a HUGE :thumbsup: from me :cool:

Layers are very mandatory these days, but I think discreet was thinking of something else when they used this name.
