Color Palette (legacy)
Where to find the layer assignment controls that replaced the old bottom color palette.
The bottom Color Palette was removed when Beam Bench's layer workflow moved into the Properties and Cuts/Layers panels. This page remains available so older links still lead to the current instructions.
Move selected objects to another layer
- Select one or more objects.
- Open Properties.
- Choose the destination from Layer.
Only the selected objects move. Other objects on their original layer are not changed.
You can also right-click the destination layer tab and choose Move Selection to This Layer.
Create and manage layers
Use the Cuts / Layers panel to create layers, choose their colors, change cut settings, and set their processing order.
Behavior worth knowing
- Layer settings are shared by every object assigned to that layer.
- Changing a layer's settings affects all objects on it.
- Moving a selection changes the selected objects' layer assignment. It does not move the other objects or copy the source layer's settings.
- Vector and raster objects can only move to compatible layer types. Tool layers are guides and never produce laser output.
