Layers and Tube Positioning
Layers affect the relative position used while editing Tube geometry.
They are useful when parts of a design need to sit at different depths instead of sharing exactly the same editing position.
Positioning with Layers
While editing, changing the selected hotbar slot adjusts the current relative layer offset.
This gives you another way to control where Tube geometry is positioned without creating a separate Drawing.
Using Different Depths
Layers are especially useful when:
- Tube sections overlap
- Several parts of a sign need different depth
- A design uses front and back elements
- Complex geometry needs clearer separation
Layers Stay Part of the Same Design
Changing the layer does not create a new Drawing.
It only changes the relative editing offset used while working on the existing design.
For changing the active layer itself, see:
