Simple question about layers...

[Anonymous]

I can't believe I'm asking this, but could not find anything about this matter...
I have an entire selection of objects, doors, windows, walls, dimesnisons, the whole lot, and I want to move all of them to one layer... how would I do this?

cheers,

Hello Daniel

You can move all this selected elements to one layer by the "Edit Selection" Pomme-Alt-T in my Mac.
You can also by the same function change all colors all this selected elements to one color.

HTH

PS: Doors and windows don't come alone. You must select the wall which contain them.

There is also a button for this: If you have multiple element types selected, the button next to "Layer" on the info box changes to a hammer in a rectangle. That is the same command.

Communist tool - love it!

Don't forget that doors and windows belong to the layer of the wall they are inserted into.

Also if you want everything to go on one layer *as you create them*, use the Active Layer dialog. Assuming you have it loaded in your Add On Manager and active in your Work Environment, it will by defaul be at Options>Layers>Active Layer>One Active Layer for all element types.

I really wish the "communist tool' changed linetypes too. A pain when you have lines and arcs selected (or anything else for that matter) and you have to do them separately.

Well at least all line tools you can change at once. 'Uniform Settings For Line Tools'.
