Turning Layers On or Off

You can turn a layer on to make it visible in the composite or turn it off to remove its effect from the composite. Any shadows or reflections cast by the layer will also be hidden. Turning a layer off does not delete it or change its properties; however, layers that are off will not be rendered.

To turn a layer on or off:

1. Select the layer that you want to hide.
2. Do one of the following:
• In the Workspace panel, click the icon next to the name of the layer.

The icon is yellow when the layer is on and gray when it is off.



• Choose Object | Toggle Visibility.
• Press Ctrl+T (Windows) or Command+T (Macintosh).

To turn multiple layers on or off:

1. Select the layers.
2. Choose Object | Toggle Visibility, or press Ctrl+T (Windows) or Command+T (Macintosh).

The selected layers are toggled on or off. If some of the layers are on and others are off, all the layers are toggled off.
