Edit Layer (Panel)

Edit Layer (Panel)#

Edit Layer Panel.

The Edit Layer Panel shows the parameters of the selected layer or Layer Group, and is where they are changed. It replaces the pop-up layer editor of earlier versions of System Optimiser.

What it Shows

The panel follows the selection in the Layer Manager:

  • Click a layer or group in the Layer Manager, or a layer in the 3D View, to show it.

  • A newly created layer or group, or a layer made with ‘Continue Layer’, is shown straight away.

  • When nothing is selected, the panel reads ‘No Layer Selected’. When several layers are selected, it reads ‘Multiple Layers Selected’ - use the Layer Manager’s right-click menu to change several layers at once.

Live Editing

Every change takes effect immediately in the 3D View.

The Edit Layer Panel is part of the default VENUE layout, below the Layer Manager, and cannot be closed there. It is available in the VENUE tab and in custom tabs only, and only one can be open per tab.

Note

A VENUE tab whose layout was saved with an earlier version of System Optimiser does not show the new panel until the tab is reset (right-click the tab and choose ‘Reset View’), or the panel is added from the panel add menu.

As with all Panels, the Edit Layer Panel can be resized and moved using Panel Drag & Drop, and ‘popped out’ into an additional System Optimiser window. The location of this Panel will be saved as part of the current tab.
