Placing drawings in a layout, updating layers not updating

[4hotshoes]

Being new at this, there must be an easy explanation. After placing a floor plan on a sheet, I notice that some layers are not showing while others I don't want are showing. I select the inserted drawing and modify the layer setting then right click to update. But nothing is shown as changed. What is the proper way to do this?

It sounds like you are attempting to place the floor plan from the project map to a sheet in Layout.
You should be working in the View Map area and you should place your drawing in Layout from the View Map not from the Project Map.

If this is confusing take a look at the Navigator- you will see 4 areas: Project Map - View Map - Layout Book - Publisher Sets. Views of a story with different combinations of layers can only be set and fixed into a "view" in the view map.
