I would like to address a few scene graph / layer -related issues that have been giving me a really hard time.
1. TM re-importing thus not recognising layers / objects that have been turned off on the imported model (via direct link) at some point between re-syncs. I understand this is probably a deeply structural characteristic of TM and it is not likely to change. Nevertheless, it can be disastrous.
2. Layers and their sub-layers expanding automatically every time an object is selected (often by accident). Surely there must be a less intrusive way to identify an object’s layer if needed?
3. Layers that have been turned off (on TM) automatically turn back on after every re-sync. This was not the case in previous versions and is honestly unacceptably tedious. Setting up configurations is definitely not a viable alternative.
4. Objects belonging to the imported model cannot switch layers in TM (they return to their original layer after re-syncing). I am pretty sure layer sequence cannot be altered either.
5. Adding an object to my scene sets its layer visible on all saved images. This is insane, I cannot begin to describe the troubles it causes.
The above have been forcing me to consume considerable while unnecessary amounts of time and energy every time I use TM. Not to mention the frustration levels involved. I sincerely hope someone will eventually focus on improving this part of the software and make the user experience a bit less of a torture. Thanks in advance.
