Layout Item Reference

Modo scenes are basically collections of items: cameras, lights, meshes, locators, and so on. They are also referred to as layers. You can tell Modo what particular item you wish to edit by selecting them. When selected, their associated attributes appear in a Properties Panel panel where you can manipulate their values directly. For information on a specific item, click a link.
