Save to Layers
Controls how 3D objects are assigned to layers in the drawing.
By Object Creates a layer for each object in the 3D Studio file and places the
object on that layer. The name of the layer is the same as the name of the
object.
By Material Creates a layer for each material in the 3D Studio file and places
objects to which that material is attached on that layer. The name of the layer
is the same as the name of the material.
By Object Color Creates a layer for each object color in the 3D Studio file.
Each 3D object is placed on the layer corresponding to its color. The name of
the layer is COLORnn, where nn is the color index of the object coming from
the 3D Studio file. If the 3D Studio file contains objects with no color, these
objects are placed on a layer called COLORNONE.
Single Layer Creates a single layer called AVLAYER and places all objects on
that layer.
Multiple Material Objects
When AutoCAD encounters a 3D object assigned multiple materials, AutoCAD
determines how to handle the assignment.
