How layers work in Lumion
As mentioned, by default when we import a 3D model or add an object, the layer
used by default is
Layer 1
, but we can change the layer's name, add a new layer and
hide layers. How? Let's have a look at our screenshot:
We can add up to 20 layers, so there isn't any excuse for not using this fantastic
feature. We need to select a layer first and then add the 3D model in the order that

around the 3D model. Then, we will select the correct layer and click on the Move
selection to the layer button, as shown in the following image:
