Organise your designs with the use of Drawing layers.
There are two ways to add a new drawing layer to your project:
Create a new Drawing layer using the New Drawing Layer button in the Layer palette
Create a new Drawing Layer using the New Layer button in the draw palette.
After either method, a modal appears. Give the layer a name, then click “Create”
This creates a new layer and sets it to the 'Active Layer'. All geometries you create will be created on the currently active layer.
The current active layer is Green in the layer tree.
You Can Change the active layer in two ways:
Click on the layer name in the palette.
Select the layer from the menu

You can change the visibility of layers in the Layer tab in the left-hand palette.
✐ Next to a drawing layer indicates it is visible
👁️🗨️ Next to a drawing layer indicates it is not visible, and not included in calculations.
Giraffe shows the areas for all layers that are on. To show areas for different options turn the layers you don't want to consider to fully invisible.
<aside> 💡 Remember you can use ‣ to control layer visibility!
