Step 7: Layering
Goal : To organize objects on layers.
Tool : SketchUp.
All groups and components need to be assigned a specific layer, which
later allows you to create scenes. To avoid layering issues, all lines and
faces should be on Layer0. Open the Layers palette by going to Window
> Layers, and then also open the Entity Info palette by going to Window
> Entity Info. Both should be open on screen. In the Layers palette, click
on the plus symbol to add a layer. Give the new layer a name that is very
specific to the object(s) that will be placed on it, such as naming it “win-
dow” for a window component. Select the object by clicking the Selection
button or by hitting the spacebar on the keyboard. Then, in the Entity
Info palette, select the appropriate layer from the drop-down menu.
Repeat this process until each of the objects in the model exists on their
own layer.
