Ignoring overlay and custom objects at runtime

By default, Developer Studio and the AR System server are configured to work with and execute overlay and custom objects. To work only with origin objects at design time, runtime, or both, follow the instructions in this section.

By default, the AR System server performs operations on overlay and custom objects at runtime and ignores overlaid (origin) objects. You can, however, configure the server to execute overlaid objects at runtime and to ignore overlay and custom objects unless an operation's control record specifies an overlay group. (This exception enables clients to specify that the server should execute an overlay or an origin object.)
