Layers

Use Layers throughout the Unity Editor as a way to create groups of objects that share particular characteristics (see documentation on Layers for further details). User Layers primarily to restrict operations such as raycasting or renderingThe process of drawing graphics to the screen (or to a render texture). By default, the main camera in Unity renders its view to the screen. More info
See in Glossary
, so that they are only applied to the relevant groups of objects. In the Tags and Layers Manager, the first eight Builtin Layers are defaults used by Unity, so you cannot edit them. However, you can customise User Layers from 8 to 31.
