Object layers are already defined by the object itself. However if the layers conflict (for your house flooring, and the furniture), just click on the object, then click on "Dynamic Layers" at the top. It should try and move the new object to the front if it can. Only works if the existing tile isn't already on that layer, otherwise it'll likely replace it.



Generally though (from officials perspective), houses like that were never designed to have separate objects placed on them, they generally just have the objects built on to the floor tiles themselves.

Object layers are already defined by the object itself.

I recall now that's also how it works in Crystal editor, depends on which layer you originally built it. And this being mir3, middle layer is the choice. I added front and middle layers toggle in Crystal editor to get around this.

Wasn't the best example since as you say, interiors are normally not meant to be edited, they are flat images.

You have some nice features that I'd want to have in Crystal editor, like the Locate Image (L) and Multi Selection. The editor needs a guide.

Make ground from this panel, click and drag to make large ground areas. Need to experiment and have some artistic flair besides technical ability.

Plant some buildings and trees and other objects on the ground and you have a new map made.
