Layers - Right-Click Menu Add Layer

Another menu can be opened by clicking an empty area of the canvas of the “Visibility” or “Simulation” panel. Please make sure that no layer is currently highlighted, because, in that case, you will see the first right-click menu. The second menu contains two entries.

Add new layer

Here you can create a new empty layer. Names will be automatically assigned, such as “VisibilityLayer0X” and “SimulationLayer0X”. “X” is a consecutive number.

Add new layer with selected nodes

In the nodes window you can make a selection and add them to a newly created layer. The nodes do not have to be of the same type or group. You can combine emitters with objects, daemons with grid fluid elements, RealWave nodes with IDOCs and so on. It is also possible to select and drag the nodes from the “Nodes” panel to the layer window to create a new group from your selection. Another feature is to drag layers inside the layer panel onto an empty area of the canvas. This action will create a new layer that contains all the nodes in the selection.
