I am having a hard time finding out what "backclipped" actually means. I can see what it does but it seems like where I choose to backclip from on the plan has a lot to do with how things will show up. I assume there is s distance from camera distance that would define what shows? And also what would be the optimal distance from certain objects so that they are snappable if I am looking to draw on the backclipped or elevation image? Thanks

Thanks for the help everyone. I am starting to understand.

Thanks for the responses. I have quite a bit of work done on the default cad layer but I did it when I was on 0 floor, (basement), level. I am trying to figure a way to get all that work to show up on the 1, (main floor), level. I found instructions on how to copy from one layer to another but is there a way to copy from on level to another? Thanks again.

I drew some cad lines while I was looking at the basement floor level, working plan view. These are lines associated with the terrain and I would like to see them when I switch to the first floor. I click the up arrow to go up one floor and now I see the first floor plan but my cad lines are gone. They are on the cad default layer which is still checked as visible but they are only visible to me when I am on the basement floor. Same with terrain, if I draw the terrain while I am on the basement floor plan I can't see the terrain lines when I switch to first floor even though the terrain layer is still checked as visible. ??

Wow, thanks! I figured it would be simple but I could not figure it out.

I am trying to figure out how to move and position my plot lines independent of the house plan. I have a couple layers that I would like to move all at once, rotating and whatever. I have a JPEG layer with an areal view and then a cad layer with the topo lines that I have traced, Ultimately I will make those topo lines into a terrain to so I will have those additional layers that I would like to move all at the same time. I want to keep the house square in front of me but I need to move the land around to get the house positioned better. Is there a way to select by layer and select everything on a few layers so I can move them around? I can make them all into a block but the I can't make the block go behind the footprint of the house so I can't see the house as I am positioning the land.
