Layer Sets

[ovnttim]

I'm using Chief Architect X12. I have a Foundation Plan and Basement Plan every time I make a call out to one plan it's showing up on the other plan. I know it's due to my Layer Set settings but not sure how to unlink the two. I have a Layer display option for each one one for Foundation and one for Basement can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.

If I recall correctly X12 worked the same as X15 does in this regard. You need to set the Layer Set for the saved view you're in.

Default Sets

This is super powerful once you can get your mind wrapped around it.

I think the most important thing is to have the following specific layers for each default set.

 

A specific CAD layer for each Default Set:

A specific Dimension layer for each Default Set:

A specific Revision Cloud layer for each Default Set:

As you can see I don't have a specific revision cloud layer for all my default sets.

Some of them share Revision Clouds,  General.

A specific Text layer for each Default Set:

 

I've thought that it would be nice to have a wizard to create all of the important parts to a new default set because it's a good bit of stuff to try to remember to check when setting up a new default set.

More powerful if you’re using default sets via Saved Plan Views.
