3D Layer Control
The clipping process used by the Vx76 software to manage beam intersections when they meet objects in the 3D
graphic can be processor intensive and slow down performance of the 3D graphic feature. As an option to speed up
performance, the console offers a method for specifying individual layers of the imported *.dwg or *.dxf graphic not to
be clipped.
Note:
In VectorWorks, a layer is referred to as a "class."
To specify layer(s) for non-clipping:
+
In drawing package, rename layer starting with "-".
For example, "-truss." When importing, the console will recognize this indicator and not clip beams when they
meet objects in this layer.

coordinates from the 3D graphic into the Plan View. (This requires that a 3D graphic has been previously imported.)
