Has anyone tried opening Endor in ZeroEditor? All of the objects are invisible. Anyone know why? Thanks

I think I remember most of the objects were placed in different layers, like trees, props, etc. I can't check at the moment but if you haven't I'd poke around the layers tab. They could also have the hidden option checked.

Click the Change button under Active Layers, and right-click the [Base] layer to enable Show Layer(s).

With that said, it's highly advisable and wise to organize the objects in your worlds by sorting them into layers. Personally, if I'm working on, say, a large world that's mostly modular, I like to have a "Design" layer for the large structural props that form the playable space, a "Props" layer for general props that are typically used repeatedly, a "Clutter" layer for smaller props that act as, well, clutter :u, a "Lights" layer for any placed lights (other than the global directional lights, which I like to keep in the base layer) and shadow regions and directional-light-bound regions, a "SoundStreams" layer for sound stream regions, a "SoundSpaces" layer for sound space regions, a "SoundEmitters" region for sound emitter objects - and if there's an ungodly amount of really same-y props (like rocks or trees), I'll generally stick those into their own respective layers as well.

Staying organized is one of the biggest keys to success - and the ability to hide layers that you don't want to see is incredibly useful in ZE, especially if your world has >500 objects. Also, objects in hidden layers won't be taken into account when burning terrain, which is nice if the world contains trees and you want to create a world shadow map for the trees' shadows.

tl;dr: Try to make use of layers. :n
