To try
this out, follow these steps:
1. Load the Bae_Hawk_T1A object from your LightWave installation folder. This
object has many layers, and when first loaded, all are seen in the foreground, as
in Figure 1.15.
Figure 1.15 Selecting a layer in the Layers panel brings that layer to the foreground.
You can load multiple objects into Modeler at the same time.However, unless you
specifically cut and paste those objects together in some fashion, you can view only
one object at a time. Figure 1.12 shows the layer buttons at the top right of the interface,
and to the left of the layer buttons is the Current Object selection list. Any
objects loaded into Modeler can be selected from this drop-down list. It??™s important
to note that each loaded object retains its own layers. Choosing to load multiple
objects will not load them into individual layers within the same model.

available in the Layers panel.

2. Press F7 to open the Layers panel. Don??™t click any individual layer itself, but click
the check box beneath the B column (B for background) next to the Fuselage
layer.
