Layers provide a simple way to group different objects together so that you can organize your site layout more easily.
For example, if you were creating a landscaping plan, you might draw out all of the areas of retaining walls, and then group those areas together under a layer called ‘Retaining walls’.
You can create as many layers as you want in your project.
Accessing the Layer Manager
Click the Layers tool in the Sidebar to access the Layer Manager. The Layer Manager is a panel that is displayed on the left of the MapBrowser window.
Layer Manager panels
The Layer Manager comprises the following panels:
|
Pane | Description |

| Feature Layers | Every object, shape, or text you add to the map is added as a feature layer. |
| Data Layers | A data layer is a visualization of information overlaid on to the map. Data Layers are grouped by: - AI Layers
