Working with Layers 2

Layer Visibility:
You can use Layer visibility settings to add interest when presenting your work, we will use Layer Visibility settings in todays Exercise to present our model in several different states.

• To see other layers whilst in a layer go to View >Layer options. Here we can select how to see the other layers.

1. Active Only: Only the present Layer is visible.
2. Show others: The other layers are seen but not editable.
3. Gray Others : The other layers are grayed but not editable.
4. Show/Snap Others: The other Layers are visible and act as snap points when drawing.
5. Gray/Snap Others: The other Layers are grayed and act as snap points when drawing.
6. Show/Snap/Modify Others: You are able now to modify other layers from this layer!

• Each layer will be shown in its selected orientation, scale and level of render. To align all other layers orientation to match the present layer go to View >Align Layer Views.

• To adjust individual layer visibility go to Tools>Organization>Design Layers, select the layer and click in the relevant visibility column (visible, gray or invisible) .

• This can also be done through the Navigation Palette.
