Lesson: Using Layers ■ 257
Using layers is similar to using overlays in a manual drafting environment where clear media that
contains groups of related design elements are placed throughout the overall design. As a result, you
see everything that you create, you have the flexibility to easily remove the overlays, and can focus on
any aspect of your design.
A Typical Layer Configuration
A typical drawing could use layers to organize objects in the following way.
Layer Name
Objects
Walls
All geometry representing walls.
Electrical
All geometry representing electrical.
Hidden
Geometry that is represented by hidden lines.
Landscape
Geometry representing landscaping objects.
Construction
Temporary geometry used for sketching or other construction geometry
purposes.
Dimensions
Drawing dimensions.
Annotation
Text and notes.
Hatch
Hatch patterns, fills, gradients.
Titleblock
Borders, Title Block and title block information.
The preceding tableis only an example of a typical layer configuration. Most companies have layer
standards already defined to suit their particular needs. The following exampleshows a standard
architectural layer configuration.
