Hi all,

I want to change the state of all layers at once, using the Add New Layer Button.

On my tS7 configuration, it does not work (a clic on the status indicator does not reveal the 3 states to choose).

I checked in the manual to see if that feature were removed but, no, it is still described as it used to in tS6...

Did something went wrong in my config' or do you experience the same problem ?

Emmanuel, my TS7 is like this;


L-Click on Main layer icon adds a layer

R-Click on that icon opens layer properties panel

L-Click and hold on the new layer icon opens flyout options (three choices you refer to)

R-Clickl on that icon opens wire colour pallette.


Left clicking on each layer icon toggles between show layer and lock layer-only holding the mouse button down reveals the hide layer status.

Any good?

It is the L-Clic and hold on the new layer icon that does not work. The 3 options does not open.

It works fine for the other layers but not this one.

Should I re-install all tS7 again to fix it ?

Emmanuel, it should work, but not as advertised..

L-Click and hold on the new layer icon opens flyout options (three choices you refer to)

there is no fly out options.:( .[only on individual layer icons..]... they are MIA Splinters

but it does work .:) .click on the shape [right side] of add new layer ..it will change status..

colour of shape will change and tooltip tells you which status

Ok, I am on latest Beta but as far as I know this one has not been reported so it should be the same as release version.

I don't really mess with layers but this is what happens here.

I put a cube into a new scene-I L-Click and hold on the default layer icon (one without the plus). Three icons pop out; grey, green and yellow.

if I click yellow I cannot choose the cube anymore. If I choose grey icon then cube disappears, choose green and it reappears. Is this what you expect to happen?

Good to see that it works, even if not as writen in the Artist Guide!:)

Newbies may like a 1000 pages book of printed trueSpace Community Forums, full of Stan or Splinter tips ;)

Paul, I am working on an architecture scene. There is more than 400 objects (indoor/outdoor objects,trees, landscape, building, etc...) so I use a dozen of layers to show/hide the layers I am working in. It is interesting to lock all layers but one, or hide all but one, or show all for a render test...

This is what the Add New Layer Button flyout option is for.

Interesting, the flyouts are working here (I've been testing layers throughout the betas).

Emmanual and stan, are you both using download release? Can anyone else confirm?

I can confirm that the flyout from the Add new layer icon does not work in 7.0 download. Left click and hold on the layer icon with the +. The icon gets a black box around it for about 1 second then switches back with no flyout. The same thing happens if right click and hold. Left click and release creates a new layer. Right click and release opens layer info box.

The only thing that does not work here is the flyout for the Add layer button. I am using trueSpace7.01

Sorry guys for not paying closer attention. Good thing toggling the right side works.

As I said-don't use layers. Sorry for the misunderstanding...:confused:
