Rendering inactive layers to see multiple layers while editing only one.

[carterdesigner]

I am having issues with seeing different layers while I am editing. It seems like it should be a simple setting change, but I want to be able to see all the layers while I'm editing. For example, if I am editing my set, which has its own layer, I don't want my drape and lighting to be grayed out. I want Vectorworks to render all of it in Open GL so that I can see all of my layers together instead of one at a time. I'm using Vectorworks 2020 on Windows 10.

In either the Navigation Palette or  View menu, set your layer options to show/snap others. 
 

if you are having additional issues, makes sure unified view is turned on and that all your layers are the same scale.

Thank you!! That was the exact setting I was looking for.
