IMO it would be great if intermediate master layers that are only created to make the design space complete (i.e., are totally interpolated) could be “locked” as always interpolated - keeping metrics etc in sync, never needing to remember to re-interpolate the layer or have to remember which brace layers are there to actually do something vs. there for the design space
A similar requests came up here and there. But it is a bit difficult to implement this. I’ll see what I can do.
yeah, I can imagine the hard part is keeping it in sync when other layers that affect it change
there is a low-tech version of this request, would be the ability to change the color of a brace layer in the layer panel, or really any kind of flag to differentiate it. then, at least I would be able to remember, by color or whatever, which brace layers are only there to fill in the design space. could script it for exports too (if layer.color == red, layer.reinterpolate)
You already can assign layer colors. Right click in edit view, press the Option key and click a color.
oh, nice, I had no idea. that is a fine workaround for the (still desirable if possible) behavior in the original post. thanks georg
