Relating to layer display sets

Recommended Posts

I am working on setting up layer sets (set some up in the edit default tools menu) and noticed that even though I have built a couple of different layer sets, copied from existing sets, with the associated layer's displayed, I want for each, I noticed that there is not an option (at least I haven't found it) to see the new layer available in the layer window (if that makes sense?). You have to select a layer, open, the look for the newly created Layer Set and it's associated layers to display, and I haven't done enough using the different layer options to know how to access them easier. I'm sure the experts on here have it all down to a science but I don't. I'm using CA 12 a lot more now (in semi-retirement) and just getting back up and running, thus the need to have a better workflow. Is that where "saved plan views" comes in? IF so, I'll probably not live long enough to learn to do it that way.

Yes. You definitely should start using SPVs, check out the training videos:

Chris, I've actually watched these videos several times and also the video's related to as-built drawings.  I've created several "saved plan views" and within each have attempted turning on and off the particular items I want displayed for each saved plan. That being said, I can't quite get the trick doing the over-lay of the as built to new construction. I'll leave things as they are for now and go back and watch the "Remodeling: How to Generate As-Built Overlays in 2D & 3D - Video | Chief Architect" again.
