Layer management

In CADprofi program it is possible to use automatic layer management. This feature is very convenient as it frees the user from the necessity of placing objects on individual layers.

The structure of CADprofi program layers is based on the Open BIM (IFC) classification, and each user has the possibility to define his own layer standards.

 

Layer options:

Automatically (in accordance with the selected standard) – automatically places objects on layers specified in the layer standard. User can create and edit his own layer standards thanks to the following options:

 - defines new layer standard.

 - edits the selected layer standard.

 - deletes the selected layer standard.

Enable prefix ‘3D’ for 3D objects – adds the '3D' prefix for layers with three-dimensional objects.

Extended layer name – adds to the inserted element layer name the system identification (installation type).

Layer color from system – matches the symbols’ and objects’ color to the color of a given system (line or pipe).

Insert objects on current layer – places the object on the current layer – user control.

Fixed layer – places all objects on one layer (not recommended). If this option is selected please specify the name of the layer on which all objects from CADprofi library will be inserted.

Notice

All pipe, ventilation and electrical installations are identified only by means of layers. For this reason schematic lines and 2D lines & fittings are always inserted on automatic layers, regardless of the selected options.
