Making New Scene using "Add' Loses Layers

[Bob James]

In a model with a few scenes if I rotate to a different camera angle and then click "add" on the current scene tab, the new scene has the new camera angle but does not have the same layers.
This is a generic problem (i.e., not for just one model)

[Jim]

The new Scene gets its properties from whichever Scene Tab is selected (across the top.) It doesn't matter which Scene is selected in the Scenes dialog. Is this not what you are seeing?

I admit it may not be as intuitive as it could be, but that's how it's always been.

[Bob James]

Let's say I'm on tab 4. Now I rotate my model. Now I click on tab 4 and select "add". Now I click on Tab 5, but the layers are not the same as they were on Tab 4.
Repeatable on two different computers using Win10AE.

Bob, I can't duplicate this from your description. Is there any chance of you uploading a sample file in which this happens?

[Dave R]

As I said, Bob, it doesn't happen for me. That's why I asked if you would share a sample SKP file that exhibits the issue.

[Bob James]

Thank you for your input, but, as I said in the original post:

so it happens all the time: file and computer independent

Then, with scene 1 tab still selected, turn and move model and right-click Tab 1 and select add scene.

Bob, if you happened to add that Layer using my Add Layer extension, it may have been set to be not visible for any new Layers added to the model. Any chance of that?

Thank you, Jim, but I just right-clicked on the scene tab

I don't have one less than the 5M limit at the moment.

Jim asked if you used his Add Layer extension to add layers in your model.

If this happens on every model for you, you should be able to make a simple one that is small enough to be uploaded.

The Layers Panel extension may also have the ability to add Layers which are off on new Scenes. Did you get the model from someone else who may have used either extension? It would be interesting to examine the actual model.
