Layers

Layer management

Create, rename, delete, and organize layers from the layer panel. Layers can be grouped for easier organization on larger projects.

Layer properties

Each layer has:

  • Color
  • Visibility
  • Lock state — locked layers can’t be edited or selected
  • Line type
  • Label visibility — see Annotations & Labels

Phase-based filtering

Geometry is tagged with the survey phase it was created in (see Survey Phases), and the canvas filters what’s shown accordingly — you generally only see geometry relevant to the current phase, plus anything explicitly composed into a Drafting viewport.

Codelists

Codelists map survey codes to layers and layer properties (color, line type, line weight). During import, matching a geometry’s code against a codelist auto-creates and assigns the appropriate layer — useful for bringing in field data that uses a consistent coding scheme (e.g. from a data collector).
