Asset Organization

Organize and manage imported assets.

Layer-Based Management

Assets are managed through the layer system. View assets in Outliner panel, organize using layer hierarchy, and use precompositions for reusable components.

Asset Organization:

• •Name layers descriptively
• •Group related assets
• •Use precompositions for reusable elements
• •Delete unused assets to reduce file size

Naming Assets

Rename Layers: Double-click layer name in Outliner, or select layer and press Enter. Type new name and press Enter to confirm.
