Layer Sets - Multiple layer setups per Scene

[dswahn]

It would be useful to be able to create multiple layer assignment sets per scene, and not just the single one that the Layer Explorer currently provides.

Let's say for example that you have a scene containing many different categories of objects. You put these objects into layers for better scene management.

However, if you need to categorize these objects in another way for any other purpose you are stuck with the one single setup that Layer Explorer currently provides. Sure Selection Sets can be used as an alternative, but then you don't have the functionality of the layer system and Layer Explorer.

The State Sets tool features tabs that allows for multiple state setups.

Why not have the same functionality for layer assignments?

I am sure I am not the only one who have felt a need for multiple layer setups in a scene.

A mockup example of how switching between different layer sets can be done via a tab system.

This is an excellent idea. I would love to set up layers that correspond to scene states

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with this idea, but sad to see it's been over 4 years with no solution.

This would also be helpful in situations like ours where multiple teams are using the same max files and they all want different layer setups.
