front view of multiple layers?

[SharonP]

I have two different files, one is a single level house, and the other a split level house with three different levels. I have the roof on a separate layer in both of these files, and one layer for each floor level.

On the single level house, if I make the floor and roof layers visible, I can see both and alter both in front, left etc views. On the 3 level house however, I cannot see all the layers in front view at the same time, which is a bit frustrating to say the least.

I have set up both files from the same template and am a bit confused as to why I can't see all the layers nicely in the 3 level house.

I have linked all the layers on both files to another layer so I can see the whole house as a 3d model, but of course I can't edit anything on that model.

Can anybody tell me what I may have done wrong on this one? I am hoping there is just a setting that I have turned off somewhere?

Thanks

I would use Unified View instead of linked layers. A Layer Link is the old way of doing it.

Yep, Unified Views is the way to fly...in fact I never turn it off
