Modify layer structures

You can modify layer structures by removing/adding individual layers or entire levels from/to the layer structure. In the case of an office-specific layer structure, this operation modifies the office standard and consequently all the projects whose layer structures are based on the office standard.

Custom layer structures you delete can be restored manually. Alternatively, you can also save a layer structure before you delete it. This way, you can retrieve it later when needed. The layer structures (ARCHITECTURE and ENGINEERING) provided with the program can be restored quickly and easily. All you need to do is copy them from the standard folder to the project/office folder. However, any changes you made to these layer structures in the meantime (e.g. new custom layers, new abbreviated layer names) are lost.
