To assign an object to a different layer in Rhino, you typically select the object(s) first, and then use the Layers panel to change their assigned layer.
Steps to Change an Object's Layer
Based on the method shown in the provided reference, one common way to assign a layer to an object is as follows:
- Select your object(s): Use selection tools (like Marquee selection or clicking) to choose the geometry you want to move to a new layer. For example, the reference mentions selecting "Point geometry to the Marquee selection".
- Navigate to the Layers Panel: Ensure your Layers panel is visible.
- Right-Click the Target Layer: In the Layers panel, find the layer you want to assign the selected object(s) to.
- Select "Change Object Layer": Right-click on the name of the desired layer. A context menu will appear. Choose the option "change object layer" from this menu.
Once you select "change object layer", the selected object(s) will instantly be moved to the chosen layer. You can verify the change, as mentioned in the reference, through various methods (e.g., checking the object's properties or changing the visibility of the new layer).
This method is quick and intuitive when you have the Layers panel open and know which layer you want the object to reside in.
