    Hello, I have just bought the Solo edition and am well on the way to creating my first project, of of the stages at Glastonbury. I am loving this 0 its brilliant software and I wish I had bought it years ago.
    Couple of questions - I am bulding in layers, such as stage, roof, truss, set etc. I have figured out how to assign objects to layers and to lock them from being edited, but cannot see a way to turn them off - ie hide them.
    How is that done?
    Thanks

    - You can create layer sets.
    - in a Layer set you can set which layer is visible and which not
    - this layer set you can assign to the Alpha, Beta or Gamma view, or even in plots and so on

    Okay, I have created a new layer set, and for now assigned stage and set layers to be in this layer set. I still cannot see how to toggle visibility of the layer set though.
    Thanks

    - Now goto the design tab
    - select one of the views, for example Alpha View
    - next to layer set you choose the wanted layer set
    - so in this view, you will see only the layers selected in that layer set

    Ah, I see now thank you. I have to go to the text area in the right of the design view box and click on layer set there - not immediately obvious! It also works in reverse of layers in Photoshop etc in that if for example I have the structural elements within a layer set cll structures, if I click that it turns off everything BUT th structure. But it works so thanks for your your help.

    If you doubleclick on a layerset it will apply to all views. A time-saver!

    You can also drag and drop a layer set onto a view.

    Would it be possible to add the ability to select layer set for the view from the green spanner menu? That would make it easier to change layer set when, for example, you are working with a particular view maximised and cannot see the design tab.

    Hi,

    While adding a layer choice to the options menu does make sense, I'm afraid there's a lot of other things that would make sense to add there as well so we'll refrain from that at the moment.
