Survey visibility and record locking
Show survey record kinds through Display and use Selected for individual visibility and locking.
Survey visibility is controlled by record-kind filters and individual record properties. The current survey interface does not contain the former Layers tab or a fixed editable set of drawing layers. Use Display for groups and Selected for a record.
Show or hide record kinds
Open the top-bar Display menu. Under Records, toggle Boundary polygons, Photos, Soil samples, Existing trees, Obstacles, Microclimate zones, Site observations, Field measurements, Sight-line requirements or View blockers. Hiding a kind changes the view without deleting its records.
Set reference and photo display
The Display controls also include Grid, Origin marker and photo-lighthouse settings such as Show beams and Beam sweep. These change survey presentation; they do not change the captured evidence or make photo positions more accurate.
Lock or hide one record
Select a survey record and open Selected. Locked protects it from ordinary position/property edits. Visible controls the individual record’s visibility. These are record-level properties, separate from hiding its entire kind in Display.
Review records without a layer workflow
Use Table to review the project record set, or Photos for the image gallery. Survey records are separate from drawing objects; changing a survey kind filter does not create, rename, reorder or delete drawing layers. Use the drawing’s own layer controls for proposal objects.
