Using the Layers Tool in Trendspek
Access the Layers Menu
Navigate to the Layers Menu: In the bottom left of the screen, find and open the new Layers Menu (previously the dataset picker).
Set the Primary Layer
Select the Primary Layer: The orange layer represents the primary layer. This is the dataset associated with actions like annotations.
Add Additional Layers
Toggle Layers: Layers allow you to toggle between multiple datasets within the same viewer and customise settings for each layer.
Adjust Layer Settings: For each layer, you can adjust:
Opacity
Render settings
Layer description
Use the Clipping Box Tool
Apply the Clipping Box: Navigate to the area you want to isolate, then click Apply. The clipping box will be applied to all active layers.
Adjust the Clipping Box: Modify the box to focus on a specific section of the model (e.g., viewing thermal data around air conditioning units).
Apply and Finalise: Once you’re happy with the clipping box, click Close to finalise the view.
Clip the Primary Layer: Open the layers menu, locate Clipping Direction, and clip it outward. The second dataset will now be displayed over the primary dataset.
Save Your View
Save Your Layer Configuration: Once your layers are configured, navigate to the Save Views tab, click on “Create New Folder,” name it, and press “Enter.” This will save your clipping box settings, camera position, and layer configurations.
Exit and Return to Saved View
Exit the View: Click the X at the top right to exit the current view.
Return to Saved View: To return to the saved view later, go to the Save Views tab, locate your saved view.
