This topic will be covered later in the book.
it as a reference to build a new object.
If you save your LightWave object and
load it into Layout, all layers will be
visible.However, if you click that little
dot in the Layers panel in Modeler,
when the object is loaded into Layout,
the layer will not be visible. Load it
back into Modeler, and it will be there.
This is great when you use objects as
modeling tools.
Finally, there??™s one more area you
should be aware of in the Layers panel,
and that??™s the Hierarchy view option.
It??™s easy to miss, but at the very right
top corner of the Layers panel, there??™s
a small drop-down arrow. Select it
and you see the option for List or
Hierarchy. So far, you??™ve been seeing the Layers panel in List view. Figure 1.17 shows the
Layers panel in Hierarchy view. This is useful for more complex objects like characters or
mechanical creations.
There are many more panels in LightWave v9 Modeler, but it??™s important to understand
how to navigate before you get more involved.Working with the layers is essential to any
model you create, which is why it??™s covered first in this chapter.
