Entities can be grouped in layers.


  1. A layer
  2. The active layer (new entities get added here)
  3. Hide/Show layer (makes children (in)visible in the editor game window)
  4. Lock/Unlock layer (makes children unselectable in the editor game window)
  5. An entity
  6. The entity type


By grouping entities into layers, you are able to organize everything in a folder-like structure.
Use this to group related entities and make working in specific areas easier.
Items can be moved between layers via the context menu (right-click) or by dragging.
