    Just curiuous what the "Layer" pop-menu (just below the name input in the Property inspector) is used for?

    thanks,
    Richard.

    PS The "Lock" (Property Inspector) icon doesn't seem to do anyhing - what am I missing!? :)

    The layers relate to the Culling Mask property of each camera. You can create and assign objects to layers to hide or show them from different cameras.

    The lock icon locks the inspector on the current object. Ie. you can press the lock icon and then select different objects without loosing the current inspector.

    OK - thanks. Would this be an effective way of implementing portals - by scripting the layers of objects?

    Ah - very useful!

    thanks,
    Richard.
