Backburner 2016 - xrefs and layers

[Matt McDonald]

Backburner 2014 has bug where it does not respect layer visibility of xrefs based on the scene file but rather the visibility of the layer in the xref file.

Do any of you know if this has been fixed in Backburner 2015 or 2016?

 

Thanks for the help

Matt

2016 has had a major overhaul to xrefs and it now respects layer visibility in the scene, not the xref.

 

State sets, xrefs, and layers (especially nested layers) are still a bit odd and it's best to avoid using state sets on complicated scenes.

Hi Scott, seems youve been on 2016 for a while. How is the stability? Many bugs or is that all ironed out?

We're on subscription and on the verge of upgrading, would welcome the feedback.

Thanks,

Tom.
