Advanced Member Falconius Posted August 4, 2018 Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 I have an issue where I am using the post tool and I accidentally mis the thing I want to pose and it ends up selecting the thing behind it (object select), auto pick is off and is set to don't pick don't act, through all volumes i also off. It's pretty annoying as it is a very large object behind and it takes a minute or to till the program gets going again, I'd like the tool to stick to the layer I'm working on. But beyond that I think it would be pretty useful to be able to just lock layers entirely (without ghosting it), for more than just avoiding issues like this.

Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted August 5, 2018 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 You can ghost the layer and it will lock it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Garagarape Posted February 14, 2023 Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 Hello there ! I'm struggling with basic things in 3dCoat after a lonnnng blank period. Is there's another option to lock a layer; ghost mode is great, but for example when you want a character eyes layer to look solid but unpickable while you're working on another layer, ghost mode is kind of disturbing to me. If someone has an advice ? Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone has an advice ? Thanks ! Apart from Ghosting, the closest thing I can think of is using the FILL tool in the PAINT section of the Tool Panel, to pick & freeze with one click, the object. Yes, a lock function on the layer would be a bit quicker and easier. Lock Object w Fill Brush - TechSmith Screencast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
