Creating layers

You can utilize layers to view deflections and other results in certain areas of a model. The results automatically scale to the entities assigned to the visible layers. First you will have to create a new layer and then assign the entities you want to that layer.

1. In the Layers pane, click New. A new, highlighted Layer appears.
2. Click on the highlighted name once, and then type a new layer name of your own choice. Alternatively, you can highlight a Layer, right-click and select Rename.
3. Click outside of the Layers pane to finish.

Note: Layer names can be changed at any time by repeating step 2 above, or by right-clicking the layer and selecting Rename .
