Introduces image layers
 | Previous: Organize a sketch using image layers |
Each sketch image plane can contain one or more image layers. An image layer is like a piece of transparent acetate that you can sketch on.
By sketching different elements on different image layers you can easily make changes to individual elements or re-arrange image layers to change their order. You can also duplicate image layers, merge image layers together, temporarily hide image layers, or permanently delete image layers.
Each sketch image plane also contains a background layer. The background layer defines the background color for the sketch image plane. You can only change the color of the background layer; you cannot rename, move, or delete it.
The background layer is only displayed if the sketch image plane is behind 3D objects (that is, it is in the background).
A sketch image plane can also contain shape layers (see Introduction to shapes) and mask layers (see Introduction to masks).
