When you create a new layer, that layer is automatically turned on in all existing scenes, requiring you to go back and update all scenes already created. It seems like new layers should be automatically turned off in existing scenes, because if you had wanted that layer in that scene, you would hav…

In my modeling, I’ve yet to exploit scenes or styles, but from following the forums, I’ve read quite a bit. What seems most reasonable to me when you have multiple scenes and add a layer is: If the scene/style - when updated - preserves layers, then newly added layers - when added from other scenes…

This is a long-standing and frequently-repeated FR. I suspect that Trimble gives it low priority because there are multiple extensions available that handle these issues pretty well…of course, that doesn’t say that a better built-in tool wouldn’t be nice, it only means they have lots of other stuff…

Very useful. I am a beginner and have been tormented by this issue—especially when editing someone else’s model with many Scenes. Add a new component, it shows up on every scene. Try to put that component on a new layer, it still shows up on every scene. Fixing each scene is a senseless use of time. …

i agree this should just be a native feature in SU without requiring the use of an extension. SU is always trying to promote using native tools so having this as a standard feature would be extremely helpful and wouldn’t require the use of an extension.

I’ll check out the proffered extensions, but still think it’s bogus that it’s added to all scenes - very counter-intuitive to the idea of creating a layer in the first place.

Sometimes you create layers for objects you want hidden in all previous scenes, sometimes for objects you want shown in them. I would not want the current behavior to change as that would require you to go back and show layers at least as often as you now go back to hide them; simply reversing the b…

Seems like a no-brainer that there should be a native way of handling this. Especially because ONE new layer/component/group can cause 30? 50? steps backwards depending on how many scenes you have setup. That’s just bad math.
