Layer Editor window
Layer Editor window is used to edit properties of one layer within a 3D layered project.
This window is shown within 3D-layer selection window.
| Layer Name | Name of the layer. It is used for documentation purpose. |
| Thickness | Define the thickness of the layer in the direction of Z axis. |
| New | Appends a new layer (with uniform thickness of 1000mm) onto the end of layer list |
| Delete | Deletes the currently selected layer from the layer list. Warning: all elements which belong to this layer are inadvertently deleted also. Remark: You will be asked for confirmation. |
| Prev. | Selects a layer previous to the one currently selected in layer list |
| Next | Selects a layer next to the one currently selected in layer list |
Note: You shall switch between input fields by using the TAB-key. Using that key confirms the data entry. On the other hand it provides a good alternative compared to permanent mouse use.
Remark: Layer is only meaningful for 3D Layered Project. Within a 2D-Model editing of layer is inhibited (2D model corresponds to only one layer with fixed 1 meter thickness). Within 3D projects this window cannot be used because a 3D project contains only one ordered list of elements and not layers.
