Trainz - Content Creation - #7 - Understanding Layers in Surveyor and what to use them for: 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.
