Layers are a Surveyor tool that allows you to better manage the objects that are placed in your Trainz World. | |
|
Layers are a Driver tool that allows you to change what the players see as they drive around your Trainz World. |
The Layers Tool
 |
| Click the Layers Tool to open up its properties. |
The layers are organised into two groups:-
- Route Layers in the top section, and
- Session Layers in the lower section.
With the Layer Tools (Add, Delete, Merge and Lock) below them.
Each section contains multiple layers - the scroll bars next to the layer names indicate that there are more layers in each section.
Loading a Route and Loading a Session
The layers you will see will depend on whether you have loaded into Surveyor a Route by itself (with no "child" Session) or a Session and its "parent" Route.
 |
 |
In both cases, the Route Layers are identical because the same Route has been loaded. A Session contains its own layers, the Session Layers, that are saved with the Session but are not saved with the Route.

Creating a New Route
When a brand new route is created it will come with two layers, a single "route-layer" and a single "session-layer".
