Lock and Unlock Takeoff Layers

When creating takeoff layers, you can lock layers that you have finished or are not using. When locked, you cannot create or edit measurements for the takeoff layer. This allows you to indicate which measurements are complete and prevents accidentally moving measurements in different layers when working on the same drawing. You can unlock layers to make changes at any time.

Show or Hide Takeoff Layers

You can hide or show takeoff layers to isolate the components you want to work on.

  1. Next to the takeoff layer you want to show or hide, take one of the following actions:
    • Click the show icon-eye-show.png icon to change the takeoff layer from shown to hidden.
