Layers are the most common way to sort and organize objects in your Rhino workspace.

Creating Layers

• Layers can be created by clicking on the "blank page" icon in the upper left corner of the layers panel.

• Or by right clicking in the blank space, and selecting "New Layer"

Naming Layers

• Double Clicking the name of any layer will allow you to rename it from its default.

• Right Clicking any layer name allows you rename it.

Layer Properties

• The ✔️ designates which layer is the "Active Layer". Any geometry made in the Rhino workspace will be automatically added to this layer.
• The 💡 designates whether a layer is currently being shown or hidden.
• The 🔒 designates whether a layer is currently locked.

<aside> 💡 Objects on locked layers do not appear any different in your Rhino workspace.

• The ⬛ designates the display color of a layer. Right Click it to change.
• Material allows you to assign render materials to layers.
