Adding Shapes to Layers

Before we can add our shapes to layers, we need to switch to the Configuration View.

(1) Click on the View button in the top-right and choose (2) Configuration View.

Then click on the Layers icon on the right.

We'll need to create a layer before we can add any shapes to it.

Once you've created your layer, (1) select a shape in the Plot Plan and (2) click on the + next to the desired layer.

Try adding a few more shapes. We can hide shapes in our Plot Plan by clicking on the Hide Layer icon.

You can remove layers by selecting them in the Plot Plan again and clicking on the - sign next to your layer.

Or if you want to remove a layer, you can click on the Delete icon.

What's Next?

Now it's time to sequence your Construction Work Areas and generate your Path of Construction.
