Trimble Tilos Help
Layers are used in order
to control the visibility of objects inside views, especially Show / Hide / Print.
to control which objects are displayed in the foreground and in the background.
There is one central library where all layers are created and maintained. In each view the order and visibility conditions can be set independent from the library.
Double-click the entries under the folder 'Layers' to open the Properties of the Layer.
Double-click the directory 'Layers' to open the list of already existing Layers inside the Working Area.
Click 'Add Layer' to add a new Layer, on 'Layer' to delete selected entries. To edit the Properties of the layer click '...'.
Move object to another layer: This option moves the objects stored on the selected layer to another layer.
Display only used Layers: This filter allows to reduce the display layers in the tap layers of the cell to those who are used inside that cell. This is an application wide setting and can be switched on and off.
To edit which columns are shown in the grid, right-click a column header and select Setup to open the Sheet Settings dialog.
