Hi Hans, Thank you for your immediate response. I'm afraid I didn't emphasize my question enough here, my question was: layers[0] vs. active_layer
not layers vs. active_layer. I know the difference between the list and a single item, but if there is only one layers item and I chose the first indexed item(layers[0]), does it automatically refer to the same object that referred to by active_layer? Or it refers to something that only resides in memory and not being rendered yet? That why I asked if the two are the same. I did do my research through your archive list but didn't find anything.
