Confusion and technical issues with Layer management
Users are experiencing difficulties with the layers system, including missing menu options, layers not loading on startup, and unexpected behavior when hiding extruded shapes. There is also a desire for better layer import capabilities from external files like PSDs to avoid redundant tracing.

when I create a new layer and push/pull to extrude a shape and then go back to layer 0 and try and hide the other layer it is still there.
Is there a way to import layers into sketchup so that I don’t have to retrace everything to make it 3D?
I have had some challenges lately opening sketchup files and not seeing the layers. The icon, or layers window (?) is there but it doesn’t display any of the layers.
