Layer Views

You can define certain ‘views’ that contain a specified group of layers. This enables you to quickly display a predefined selection of layers. Combined with the ability to set active Layer Views in the Timeline, this is a powerful way of attracting viewer's attention to particular aspects of your model (different train designs, annotations, vehicle CAD, doors, etc.). See Screen Camera track events > Setting a Layer View for further information.

To define a Layer View:

  1. Click the Layer Views button .

    The Edit Layer View dialog is displayed.

  2. Click the New button and enter a name for the Layer View in the highlighted name box.

Try creating Layer Views that contain similar types of layer, like all your Presentation CAD Layers or layers that contain all your Analysis Objects.
