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.
How to access the Create Layer on Surface tool properties
- In the Tools toolbar, select the Create Layer on Surface
tool.
The tool's properties are displayed in the Tool Properties view.
