Layer groups

You can organize layers in layer groups to arrange the objects of specific layers, for example by function, material, or project section. Sublevels are also possible in this structure. Layer groups thus make it easier to display objects with common properties.

Layer groups can be created and managed in the Layer Manager.

Creating a layer group

Important

Layer groups can only be created in the Layer Manager.

Click the New layer group button in the toolbar of the Layer Manager. Then enter a suitable name in the 'New Layer Group' dialog box.

In this way, you can create multiple layer groups. If you need a subgroup, select the relevant layer group in the navigator of the Layer Manager. Then use the New layer group button to create the subgroup.

You can create as many grouping levels as you need. If you assign a layer to a layer group, this layer automatically becomes part of the parent layer group as well.

Assigning layers

To assign a layer to a layer group, click the entry in the Layer No. column (1). Multiple selection is also possible. Then drag the marked layer or layers to the desired layer group in the navigator (2).

You can also assign the layers via the shortcut menu of the selection.

Info

It is also possible to assign a layer to multiple layer groups.

Removing layers from a layer group

If you accidentally assigned a layer to a layer group, you can remove it from the group via the layer's shortcut menu. Simply click the incorrect entry: The assignment is removed and the check mark disappears.
