Open the Layers panel (F7) and look at what the listings
show. You??™ll see the name of the object, and if you click the small white triangle
to expand the object??™s layers, you??™ll see a listing that reads ???unnamed.???
Unnamed refers to the geometry in the layer, which you??™ve yet to name.
3. Double-click the last ???unnamed??? listing, and you??™ll see a panel pop up that reads
Layer Settings. If you had multiple layers??”that is, objects in other layers??”selecting
any one of these layers instantly would change your view to that selection.
4. In the Layer Settings panel, enter Zombie as the Name. If you had another layer
with geometry, you could also tell one layer to be ???parented??? to another. Parenting
means that the selected object becomes a child and ???belongs??? to the parent.
Whenever you move, rotate, or scale a parent object in LightWave Layout, objects
in its child layers will follow. You??™d use this for wheels on a car, letters in a logo,
and more. Figure 1.13 shows the operation.
When working with keyboard equivalents, it??™s best to always keep your Caps Lock
off. Many basic LightWave functions are assigned to lowercase keyboard shortcuts,
while more complex functions are set to capital letters.
