![]() Unfortunately, this has proven to have been an unwise decision. All that is ever done, is to change “layer” property attributes that point at a SketchUp layer object (which are not layers in any geometric sense.) Nothing is ever moved out of or into any geometric collection. ![]() ![]() Ie, the following dialog box is a complete LIE, from the window caption on down. (As Dave said, the primitive entitiy types need to be associated with “Layer0”.)ĭid you not read the SketchUp Online User Guide’s page on it’s layers (ie, Controlling Visibility with Layers,) that contains a huge warning box at the top, especially for users coming from the world of geometric CAD layers ?īut someone, in the SketchUp development team, had the “brilliant” idea that the SketchUp interface could lie to the user and pretend like it has geometric layers, and none would be the wiser. These “layers” can be associated with any number of dimensions, section planes, groups or component instances. The geometric entity’s “layer” is just a property that can hold a pointer to (currently only one) of these shared display property sheets, that are mis-called a “layer” in SketchUp. SketchUp “layers” are shared display property sheets, that can be “associated” with geometry to control display behavior, (in a sort of display sets,) across geometric collections (groups and components.) Therefore, geometry cannot “belong” to any layer, nor be put “on” any layer. The discussion in this thread is misleading with regard to SketchUp layers.
