Trainz - Content Creation - #7 - Understanding Layers in Surveyor and what to use them for: [https://youtu.be/KoXvafsMC3k Video]

When you create a new route, you are by default adding
objects to the route layer and so they will be present in any
session created for the route.
To switch to working in a session layer, open the layers tab
and Click where it says “Session-layer”. Objects you add
will now be placed in the session layer.
If you Click Place a scenery object on a new route, Click on a scenery object, then on the Edit
Properties button (N). Beside an option
to name the object,  which layer the object is
on can be seen. To move the object to another layer scroll to that layer by
using the spinners on either side of the Layer name.
