  1. OK, so if I treat Classes to be the equivalent of Objects and Layers to be construction levels I shouldn't go too far wrong. Thanks everyone.
  2. Ok, Newbie here, trying to get his Sunday-head around the terminology. If I read this right, Classes are purely 2D references that can exist on many Layers (Floorboards, WCs, luminaires, etc) and can be switched on or off, greyed out, or whatever to assist the drawing process. Layers are 3D in that they can have z-heights. A Layer can be a whole room floor to ceiling or just the floor deck itself. Am I also right in saying that Layers can pass through each other vertically? For example, can a "stair" layer go 3 floors and pass/pass through the actual floor layers the stairs service? All I want to do is accurately represent in VW the reconstruction of a 10th century Anglo-Saxon Manorial Enclosure and it's requisite buildings that I've been spending my spare time constructing for the past 7 years. Sometimes, however, the ability to understand eludes me entirely. :-)
