changing layer settings after placing sections?

Anonymous

I have already placed 4 layouts of building sections (4 per sheet = 16)
and this brings up a question that I have been working around for a while.
If all the building sections have the furniture layer turned on when creating them and at some time in the future I decide that I would not like to
show the furniture, is there a way to turn the layer off on all of the placed sections without having to replace all of them individually?

Create a layer combination with all the original layers of the sections except without the furniture layer and then go to the modify source view settings dialog and select the new layer combination there?
That is basically it.

Ejrolon, that worked perfectly! Thanks again! have not been to that corner of archicad in many years - Your Layer sets = layer combinations.

The video tutorial would not play.

Thanks.

It is something you can do after the Views are placed on the layouts. To assign a Layer Combination to different drawings.
Right click on all the drawings either by page or using Navigator View map and edit the Layer Combination
