Layers are a Surveyor tool that allows you to better manage the objects that are placed in your Trainz World.
Layers are a Driver tool that allows you to change what the player sees as they drive trains around your Trainz World.

The layers are organised into two groups:-

  • Route Layers in the top section, and
  • Session Layers in the lower section.

With the Layer Tools (Add, Delete, Merge and Lock) below them.

The differences between the two groups of layers are not as clear as their names suggest - layers in both groups can contain scenery items and rolling stock.

Each section can contain multiple layers - the scroll bars next to the layers indicate that there are more layers in each section.

The layers you will see will depend on whether you have loaded into Surveyor a Route by itself (with no "child" Session) or a Session and its "parent" Route.
