I had a nasty issue with Layers today.
At level 6, I created a new layer and did some work on it. When I was done, I turned off record mode and checked to make sure everything was working as expected (intensity slide doing its thing, on/off switch working ok…)
I turned off the layer and switched to level 5, and my layer effect was visible in level 5, even though it was turned off. I switched it on, the effect came in at 100%, and when I turned it off, the effect was diminished but still clear.
So I smoothed out all of the affected areas. Then I turned the layer back on, which brought the effect back in, again as expected.
Now here’s the weird part. I then turned the layer back off, and the effect was projected again back onto my model! I just smoothed all that crap out and it came back after disabling the layer?
What’s going on here? Layers were pretty solid in ZB 3.5 and every since ZB4 I haven’t been able to use them worth a flip. I’m sure there’s some education lacking on my part, but why are they so hard to use now?
