grouping layers #114

hey jalagar, I have a question about generating gifs with different layers and body. for my example, lets talk about cars. so i want to have 3 different model of cars (Tesla, Porcshe, Lambo) and each of them will have their own set of wheels. Tesla has 3 wheel designs Porcshe has 2 wheel designs Lambo has 4 wheel designs

but all of the cars will fall under the same background. how can I solve that using your tool? I have checked the layer grouping example but it wasn't that clear for me to proceed.

waiting eagerly for your reply! Thanks :)

I would use if-then statements not grouping. Grouping is good to group entire layers together, in your case you want a if tesla then 3 wheel, if porcshe then 2 wheel etc. Nice to hear from you again!

Check out the readme and the layers_if_then for an example
