karendavisgardendesign Posted October 2, 2024 Share Posted October 2, 2024 I cannot fully view another layer in my current layer even though the layer is marked visible and the layer option is set to show/snap others. The layer is there, but appears as dotted lines when you hover over areas of the current layer. It work fine in other files but not this one for some reason and I cannot see anything obvious when I compare the two files. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted October 2, 2024 Share Posted October 2, 2024 Are the layers set to different Scales? 1 Quote Link to comment
Poot Posted October 2, 2024 Share Posted October 2, 2024 5 hours ago, Pat Stanford said: Are the layers set to different Scales? Thinking the same thing. Often, when you import geometry/files, or perhaps just create a new layer at a different scale it will not appear together since they are in completely different scale/size and location as a result. Typically I have most of my layers set to the same scale....unless there is a specific need. Quote Link to comment
karendavisgardendesign Posted October 3, 2024 Author Share Posted October 3, 2024 Hi Pat, They are the same scale, as below. Thanks Quote Link to comment
karendavisgardendesign Posted October 3, 2024 Author Share Posted October 3, 2024 This is what I am seeing when I hover over the area with my cursor. The layer appears 'underneath' my current layer as dashes. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted October 3, 2024 Share Posted October 3, 2024 Are those objects on the upper layer individual Vectorworks items? Or is it am imported Image or PDF that could be hiding the objects behind? They changing the layer stacking order and see what you get. Or post the file and someone will take a look and try to help. 1 Quote Link to comment
karendavisgardendesign Posted November 21, 2024 Author Share Posted November 21, 2024 It was the stacking order. Thank you Quote Link to comment
Ross Harris Posted November 24, 2024 Share Posted November 24, 2024 (edited) I'd highly recommend a class based workflow - the layer stacking order visibility issues with layers can create a number of problems when trying to create a top down view order for objects on site plans. Plus,classes give you so much more granularity for visibility options. Edited November 24, 2024 by Ross Harris Quote Link to comment
