Layer system changes

Hello, I’m using blender 3.0, and I’m having an issue finding the human head in the topology examples file. I started using blender at version 2.93 and have only ever worked with different collections rather than layers, so I’m having a bit of trouble even finding the human head. I found collection 3 in the world object list box, but then couldn’t find it in my viewport (presumably because I’m not displaying the correct layer for it to show.) Thanks in advance for the help, and I think this is an awesome course

Hi Brian, that is probably because the Collection is hidden in the Viewport. There are two ways to hide things via the Outliner (which is confusing enough), but by default one of those Toggle Icons is itself hidden (crazy right? I highly recommend enabling it in your Startup File!):

In the file you are referring to, the whole Collection 3 is hidden in the Viewport, because the third Layer was not visible in the original file.

Perfect, thank you so much! That is a little confusing and it’s quite difficult to figure out on my own, so I really appreciate the help
