Turn 3D Layers On (and Double Line Layers Off)

The Turn 3D Layers On (and Double Line Layers Off) command turns off the double line representations and turns on the 3D representations of conduits and cable trays.

The double line and 3D representations of conduits and cable trays are drawn slightly different. Viewing both of them at the same time can make it difficult to see what is drawn. Turning one on and the other off makes it easier to see the design.

Use this command to view the conduits and cable trays while in an isometric or other 3D view.

To turn on the 3D layers and turn off the double line conduit and cable tray layers, go to
Ribbon: DM Electrical→3D-BIM→  Turn 3D Layers On (and Double Line Layers Off)
Pulldown Menu: DM Electrical→Layer Management→Turn 3D Layers On (and Double Line Layers Off)

The 3D conduit and cable tray layers will be turned on and visible on the drawing.

If this command is run while in a paper space viewport, the VP Freeze setting for the 3D layers will be changed to Thawed.

The double line conduit and cable tray layers will be turned off and not visible on the drawing.

If this command is run while in a paper space viewport, the VP Freeze setting for the double line layers will be changed to Frozen.
