Create Layers on Surfaces

Working in the Camera or Stage view, you can create a new vector or bitmap layer on the surface of a 3D object. The new layer will be positioned at the point in Z-depth on which you clicked. To position the new layer on your 3D object, you can use the arrow keys to cycle through the Layer Alignment modes.

Properties

Icon Property Description
Create Vector Layer Create a vector drawing layer.
Create Bitmap Layer Create a bitmap drawing layer
Align Layer to Surface The layer will orient itself with the geometry of the 3D object in relation to the camera.
Align Layer to View

The layer will orient itself to be positioned parallel to the camera.

NOTE The layer will not track the camera if it is transformed in Z-Depth.
Align Layer Vertically

The layer will remain perpendicular to the ground of the 3D model.

NOTE The x-axis value will always remain 0.
