What is a Layer Manager and what does it do?

#1

I’m very clueless yet curious about “Layer Manager” in 3d Max 9. Can anyone share a clear idea about it?

Thanks in advance! :slight_smile:

It like the layer manager of photoshop but in 3D space, simple as that.

It is a great help to organize and manage your scene elements. You can have all your bones in one layer your hig res models in another layer, your low res in another one, all your props in yet another layer, etc, etc… that way you can hide or unhide all your bones for example or freeze all your geometry so you cannot select it by accident when trying to select your bones. It is very easy to use, try it out and you’ll start organizing your scenes with it in no time.
