16.2.8 – layer system improvements
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2018 9:20 pm
I have some ideas how the new layer system could be improved as now it is "confusing as hell" 
1. Hide/disable old or new layer system in user interface when one or the other is not used.
2. Make automatic render layer id assignment based on render layers index/order. (new system)
3. Enable preview when new layer system is enabled. Now this is only available in final render or by using the "Octane render layers(Global)" rollout below by changing active ID. Needs to be disabled during final rendering.
