• true when layerId refers to the default ViewLayer — either literally "default" or omitted (the View treats omission as default). This is the layer the user's primary model content lives in; named layers carry auxiliary content — tool overlays (TransformControls, section-plane proxies, NavCube), user annotations, comparison snapshots, etc.

    Enumerators that list "the SceneModels the user authored" — user-facing tab strips, source-model pickers, inspection walkers — call isDefaultLayerModel to whitelist the default layer. Anything in a named layer is skipped, regardless of name.

    Consumption-side only — the renderer's draw, pick, and clip paths see every layer normally.

    Parameters

    • layerId: string

    Returns boolean
