Layer corruption(s)

[system]

Hi,

So I’m working on a model which has layers. And now, when I switch off any of the layers or press record, the model becomes corrupted. (See attached images)

Has anybody seen this before? Is it a known bug?
Does anyone know the cause and how to avoid it? (I think it may have something to do with adding or deleting subdivision levels, after layers have been created.)
Does anyone know a fix or workaround to get me out of my current predicament? The best I can come up with is to create displacement maps for each layer. Delete the layers. Create new layers and bake each extracted displacement map into the new layers. (But there’s got to be a better way, hopefully)

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

3d layers have always been a little finicky. They work but you just need to know how to use them.

I haven’t had time to verify that all of these issues still exist in 4r7p3 but I have done extensive research into them in past versions.

Here is a link to a thread where I call out issues and post workarounds/fixes. Hopefully it helps you.
