/// Nested Layer Manager v2 Released!

Today I’ve released beta 1 of Nested Layer Manager v2.

It has been completely re-written compared to version 1, which ended up being an internal version at Burrows.

Nested Layer Manager v2 provides the ability to nest layers in 3ds Max. This script is small, fast and allows layers to be nested in an unlimited number of folders. It has complete 2 way communication with the default layer manager; If anything is altered in either, both layer managers are updated. This allows people without this script installed to still see the normal layer organisation present in the file.

More info can be found here:

Hope you enjoy it, and please do let me know if you find any bugs or have a feature request.

  Thanks for the script, very fast and simple. I was wondering if you can override a max problem
  with layers. The bug is as follow.:

  1. Create a layer and add some objects to it.
  2. Hide the layer.
  3. Try to unhide individual objects considering that they are visible at start. It won’t work. Only to
  unhide already visible objects.

  ——————————

  A second bug is that sometimes i cannot rename a folder as if the rename window looses focus
  and goes back to blue selection mode. A workaround is to have Rename in the context menu
  of the folders.

  How’s that sound ?:)

  Thanks again for the useful script :)

    Hey Mihai,

    Apologies for the delayed reply.

    The first bug you are experiencing is not really a bug – try doing the same with the default layer manager and you will see that it behaves the same way.

    The folder rename issue sounds a little odd. I’ll look into it to see if I can replicate the issue.

    Thanks for the message :)
