Controlling Layer Visibility
I mentioned earlier that you'll sometimes want to display only certain layers to work with in a
drawing. In this bathroom is a door header that would normally appear only in a refl ected ceil-
ing plan. To turn off a layer so that it becomes invisible, you click the On/Off icon in the Layers
palette, as shown in these steps:
1.
Click the Ceiling layer in the layer list.
2.
Click the On/Off icon to the far left end of the Ceiling layer name. It looks like a white
dot. If you don't see the On/Off icon, use the scroll bar at the bottom of the Layers palette
to scroll all the way to the left. Once you click the On/Off icon, it changes from a solid
white dot to a black dot to indicate that the layer is off.
With the Ceiling layer off, the line representing the door header disappears.
