Layer Manager is a utility that creates layer controls for 3D-Studio MAX. When Using Layer Manager - every object that is created within Max is placed on a Layer -
each object defaults to the World Layer. Each layer has it's own properties - and each object assumes the properties of the layer it exists on. Layers can easily be hidden - frozen or given an alternate material.
