Layers

Layers allow you to separate elements from each other and choose which layers are rendered on top of others.

Layers are drawn from bottom to top, so the top layer will be shown above all other layers.

Note

Be aware that Collections are not the same as layers. Collections are a lightweight way to group elements, but do not affect the order in which they are renderered.

The Layers dialog

Open the layer dialog by clicking on the Butterfly button and selecting Layers, or by selecting the Layers icon in the Navigation Rail if it is enabled.

Here you can see all the layers in the project. To create a new layer, use the Create button. To show or hide a layer, use the eye button. To reorder the layers, click and drag the handle on the right. You can also delete, rename, or duplicate a layer by right-clicking the layer or selecting the three dots.
