Position Layers (Editor)

Position Layers is an editor used to create layers in which Shaper object positions can vary. These layers can then be used in the configuration system to create variants in which the position of certain objects is not the same.

This editor consists of a Layer tab at the top of which is found a list of existing position layers. The default position layer named Base Layer is displayed in this list.

Each position layer in this list has a visibility toggle button for enabling and disabling visibility. The symbol indicates which position layer is visible. When a layer is hidden, the symbol is displayed. The icon indicates the active position layer. In order to make a position layer active, click within the check-mark column beside the layer you want to make active.

The following operations can be performed on position layers:

Icon	Function	Description
	Pick Active Position Layer Mode	This command is for selecting the position layer associated with the position of the clicked surface from the viewport.
	New Position Layer	A new position layer is created and added to the list of layers.
	Duplicate Position Layer	This command creates a copy of the selected position layer. The Base Layer cannot be duplicated.
	Merge Layer Selection	This command merges selected position layers.
	Delete Position Layer	The selected position layer is deleted. Base Layers cannot be deleted.
	Evaluate All Layers in Stack	This command displays the product taking all position layers in the list into account.
	Evaluate Layer Stack Until Active Layer	This command displays the product taking into account the selected position layer and the layers lower in the hierarchy only. A red border around the viewport indicates that the view is displayed with a restricted list of position layers.
	Evaluate Active Layer Only	This command is for restricting the visibility of the position layers to the selected layer.
	Highlight Active Layer Assignments	This command enables/disables highlighting of surfaces that have an assignment in the active position layer.
	Hide Surfaces Without Assignments	This command enables/disables the displaying of the surfaces without an assignment.

The Layer field of the Layer box at the bottom of the editor is for renaming selected position layers. It should be noted that the Base Layer cannot be renamed.
