The Layer Controller dialog provides commands and options related to the
Layer controllers in your scene, which the system automatically assigns for
you when you enable
animation layers on page 3164 on an object.
Unlike other controllers, you cannot assign a Layer controller explicitly to a
track; you first need to enable layers via the Animation Layers toolbar on page
7508 or the Controller menu of the Curve Editor.
The Layer controller dialog has similarities to the
List controller on page 3194
dialog. You can refer to it for complementary informations on some of the
options.
Animation Layers and Autodesk VIZ
Although the Animation Layers feature is not available in Autodesk VIZ, VIZ
can load and save objects that use this feature without any data loss. The Layer
controllers continue to exist in VIZ, and can even be viewed and edited in
Track View, although editing of the animation-layer data is not recommended
if the objects are to be returned to 3ds Max.
TIP For best results with objects that are to be brought into Autodesk VIZ, collapse
on page 3178 any animation layers before saving the objects.
Interface
There are two types of dialogs based on whether you assign a Layer controller
to a position or scale track, or to a rotation track.
