Layer merging discussion
Partial report because I'm still trying to fully understand this and the workarounds.. is complicated to troubleshoot as a user
Layers Merging (import sketch)
1. New sketch always imports at main
2. This is a problem if the incoming sketch has multiple layers
3. My best success has been in moving the other components to new layers and importing, haven't extensively tested combining two multipart sculpts for reasons discussed next
Older sketches, especially if they involve nested groups (pretty sure this is the cause)
:: works with select all, but selection breaks when selecting components
Salvaging
3. Saved as a new sketch (to incoporate layers)
4. select what can be selected move to new layer
5. Save
6. Return to step 3.
Usually these can be broken down and eventually made salvageable (I think this is usually possible)
Probably depends how many times the strokes were grouped inside of groups
Does seem to have more trouble with hulls, I've had to discard them
Still working on a fairly complex sketch, to test this further.
With any luck it will actually remerge once the various layer subgroups are identified and broken down
