In the Graphics Properties section of the Details panel, the Layer To Display field allows the visualization of the thickness/offset/layer sequence of the layers composing a Layered Section object. To view a particular layer, click the field and enter the layer number. You can use the up and down buttons or enter a layer number directly. If you enter a number larger than the maximum number of layers in that layered section, the value will be set to the maximum number of layers in that layered section. If layer zero is selected, all the layers will be drawn (without the delineation between layers) as a compact entity, shown the same as when the Mesh node is selected in the tree. All other geometry not scoped to the current Layered Section object is shown with thickness zero.

Individual layers will be visible only when Show Mesh is enabled (if the model has been meshed previously), and only on Layered Section objects. If Show Mesh is not enabled, just the geometry and the scoping will be shown on the model.

When a layer is selected to display, the layer with its defined thickness, offset, and sequence will be displayed in the graphics window. Due to the limitations described for the Show Mesh option, it is recommended that the user switch back and forth if needed to Wireframe/Shaded Exterior View mode to properly see annotations.
