What are layers and how do I apply them?

Layers in Redline Takeoff allow you to add, organize, and differentiate between the different measurements on your plans without altering the original sheet or any previous measurements. 

To add a new layer to a sheet, expand the Layers menu found in the lower right-hand corner of Redline Takeoff, click the (+) Add Takeoff Layer button, then enter a name for the new layer. This will help you distinguish between the different layers and your original sheet, which is labeled by default as "Takeoff" but can be modified. Make sure the new layer is selected, then begin adding your desired measurements. 

To view the original sheet, simply mark the eye icon 👁️ next to each layer you wish to hide. Click the eye icon again to show the layer once more.
