Newb Looking to Create a MaxScript that creates a few layers.

Submitted by DanTronMcTronDan on Fri, 2009-09-04 12:27

The subject line says it all. I'm looking to make a script that creates a few layers when I press a button. I have enough knowledge to make my own button, but I'm pretty ignorant otherwise. Does anyone know the MaxsScript command for making a new layer and giving it a name?

Thanks in advance, Dan Moyer

newLayer =

newLayer = LayerManager.newLayer()
newLayer.name = "Pretty Layer"

Pretty much all you need can be found on the MXS reference under LayerManager and LayerProperties.
