Problem with layers

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have a problem with ArchiCad, and that is that the layers I created and locked turn themselves off when switching from 2d to 3d model and vice versa. If anyone knows what that is, I would be very grateful. thank you

Filtered 3D (F5) instead of 3D Window (F3)? Your windows are reverting to their original layer combination?

Each TAB that you switch to can remember its own settings.
It is possible to transfer settings from one tab to another.

Maybe have a watch of the video here and it may help explain things.

You can keep the tabs in sync however.
After activation in the settings you can right-click and link them. They will then have a colored line above the name.
This should ease working for you.
