Layers

  • The Layers section displays the mat layers of the project with the currently selected layer highlighted. 

  • The Top mat Layer is always displayed at the top of the Layers list.

  • Default Settings: See Admin > Defaults for the default settings for the Layer Direction.

Layer Direction in Trace

Layer Direction: Top Down

  • Take note that the Layer Direction of Bottom Up or Top Down controls how the mat layers are numbered in Trace. 

    • The Top mat layer is always displayed at the top of the Layers list.  

    • Layer direction Top Down counts down from the top mat.

    • In this example, the top mat is labeled Layer 1, and the next layer down is labeled Layer 2, and the bottom mat is Labeled as Layer 3.

  • Layer Direction: Bottom Up is the preferred direction.

    • When you Offset an object to create another layer, that new layer will be the Top layer.

  • Layer Direction: Top Down is not recommended.

    • When you Offset an object to create another layer, that new layer will be the Bottom layer, even though it is larger than the original object.

  • Default Settings: See Admin > Defaults for the default settings for the Layer Direction.

Layer Direction: Bottom Up

  • Take note that the Layer Direction of Bottom Up or Top Down controls how the mat layers are numbered in Trace.

    • Layer direction Bottom Up counts up from the bottom mat. 

    • The bottom mat is labeled Layer 1, and the next layer up is labeled Layer 2, and in this example, the top mat is Labeled 3.
