I have a mesh (tool), I had several layers on it, I then inserted a mesh and I was not surprised to see my layers disappear, could understand why it might not keep those layers, but now the layer menu is turned off and I cannot add anymore layers.
Is there something I can do to get the layer menu up again?
you need to make sure that the layer eye icon is off or baked into your model before you do the insert mesh. you can always do a group split to your already merged object and then turn off the layer and redo your mesh insert.
Thanks spaceboy,
I couldn’t do a group split because of the poly groups, and since I had already done some modeling that I wanted to keep, I went complicated, I renamed the tool, then I hid the parts I had inserted and then did a delete hidden, and the layer came back, then re-opened the original tool did the opposite and then, making sure I had collapsed my layers, I re-inserted one tool into the other.
Worked great and I kept all my polygroups and all the sculpting I did before I realized my layers weren’t on
