Layers

<div class="IPBDescription">Adding or Removing Specific elements?</div>When adding a layer it's usually drag select or ctrl select, How do you add/remove individual props and verticles in a layer?

Or Say you built (added) onto existing layers and you want to remove that layer without deleting the section of objects. Any Documentation to this yet?



In groups you can add or remove whatever is selected, is this possible with layers?

    you basically have to select those parts and uncheck them in their related layer, So they are no longer part of that layer. I'm not sure you can separate vertexes (verticles?), I think they are part of their face/line and cannot be put into their own layer...

    Vertices can't be put into layers. Neither can lines. Faces, entities and lights only.

    To add something to a layer, simply select something and place a tic next to the layer name. To add or remove a single object you select a single object and modify the tic. Read the tic as "Is the current selection in this layer?".

    Items (entities, lights, faces) can be in several layers at once.

    To delete a layer, simply empty it first. Select everything (ctrl + A) and un-tic. Then delete the layer. Presto.

    This is not entirely true is it? I have my lines, vertices and faces in layer, it's just that you can't add lines and vertices to the same layer as props and lights. I make seperate layers for props, lines/vertices/faces and lights. Works like a charm!
