Creating New Layers

Lets you create a new layer.

To make use of layers, you should create new layers. Otherwise, all the objects are automatically assigned to the default layer. You can create a maximum of 255 layers.

How to Use

Select Layers > New. A new layer with a default name (for example, L1 ) is created.

To change the new layer's name, double-click on that layer's button in the Layers Bar, and then type the desired name.

New Layer Options

By default, layers are numbered starting with the number 1 (one). To change the layer start number:

1

Select Layers > New-. The Set New Layer Options window appears.

2

Enter the Layer Start Number by either typing the number in the box provided or moving the slider bar.

3

Press Go. All subsequent layers will be numbered starting with the new Layer Start Number.

For more information on symmetry, see Setting Symmetry on Layers on page 263.

You can also set the default symmetry plane for the new layer by entering the coordinates for the Symmetry Plane Origin and Symmetry Plane Normal in the option box.
