How Lining Layers work

The first time you generate tramlines in a script, Scriptation creates a single layer named Lining and shifts you into it. Every tramline you add goes into that layer.

When a page runs out of room for additional slates, Scriptation automatically creates the next layer — Lining 2, then Lining 3, and so on — and continues your work there. This keeps your slates organized and prevents pages from getting visually cluttered.

Why is Scriptation switching me to a new lining layer?

When you generate tramlines using the Lining toolkit, Scriptation places all your tramlines into a dedicated layer called Lining. If a single page runs out of room for the slates you're adding, Scriptation creates an additional layer (Lining 2, Lining 3, and so on) and shifts you into it automatically.

Your earlier tramlines aren't lost — they're still in the previous Lining layer, and you can toggle back to them anytime.

Finding tramlines that look missing

If you can't see tramlines you expected, they're almost certainly in another Lining layer. To find them:

1. Open the Layers menu in the top toolbar;
2. Look for any layers named Lining, Lining 2, Lining 3, etc.;
3. Toggle each one on (or tap to activate it) to see the tramlines it contains.

Still don't see your tramlines?

If you've checked every Lining layer and your tramlines are genuinely missing, send us a message at support@scriptation.com with:

1. The device and OS version you're using;
2. The Scriptation version you're on;
3. A short description of when the tramlines went missing.
