**OD Layer Panel Pro** is a replacement for the Layer panel in Lightwave Modeler, getting rid of many shortcomings of the native panel.


Options:

  * **<>**: Switches Background & Foreground Layers
  * **RecylcleIcon**: Refreshes panel and syncs it to Modeler when needed
  * **Clipboard**: Sorts alphabetically, otherwise by Layer number
  * **Up-DownArrow**: Toggles ascending or descending sorting
  * **G**: Shows only the layers that are in the selected layerset
  * **?**: Shows helpful information on every option

  * Search: Lets you filter which layers to view (BG/FG independent).  The **X** clears the search field, and **A** selects all layers.
  * **+**: Adds a new layer
  * **-**: Removes a layer
  * **D**: Duplicates a layer
  * **R**: Renames layer with options for replacing/trimming/prefix/postfix on multiple layers
  * **Rs**: Simple rename, just asks you for a new name on a single layer
  * **I**: Inverts the selection
  * **O**: Center Pivot.  If multiple layers are selected, all layers will get their pivots centered
  * **X**: Cut a layers geometry and remember the layer name
  * **C**: Cut a layers geometry and remember the layer name
  * **P**: Paste cut or copied geometry into a layer and name it based on the original layer (if the geo was cut/copied via X or C)
  * **UpArrow**: Moves the Layer UP
  * **DownArrow**: Moves the Layer Down
  * **M**: Moves selected objects into a new Object
  * **Eye**: Defines the visibility of a Layer

  * LayerSets: Defines groups of layer selections that can be saved externally or with the object
  * **+**: Adds a new layer set based on the selection of the layers
  * **U**: Updates the selected layerset with the selection of the layers
  * **-**: Removes a layerset
  * **E**: Saves the layersets to an external file that can later be reloaded
  * **DiskIcon**: Saves the layersets with the object
  * **FileIcon**: Restores the layersets

Limitations:  

  * It is currently not possible to show/change parenting in the Layerpanel
  * It is currently not possible to show multiple objects at the same time.
