Different layer states on the same Layout Block

Post by Eelie » Thu Oct 21, 2021 1:34 pm

Is it possible to have two or more Viewports on the same Layout Block and have these Viewports display different Layer States? I want to produce a building extension planning drawing showing before and after views but each view would need to use a different Layer State.

While you can have multiple viewports on a layout block, only one layer state can be active at a time, so each viewport would show the same layer state at any given time.

Thank you. I'll just have to do it a different way.
