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 the plus sign button "+", 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.
