3D Single Layer Mode

Old Content - visit altium.com/documentation

PCB Visualization in the 3D arena has been enhanced in this release, with the provision of single layer mode - particularly useful when inspecting internal power planes.

Operation of single layer mode when viewing a board in 3D is essentially the same as that when viewing a board in 2D – access and cycle through the enabled single layer modes using the familiar Shift+S shortcut. Available single layer modes, defined as part of the Board Insight System, are specified on the PCB Editor – Board Insight Display page of the Preferences dialog (DXP»Preferences).

 

Use the 3D single layer mode to inspect a particular layer with even greater clarity!

Single layer mode is most useful when combined with a 3D view configuration that utilizes 'color by layer'. This option, and associated colors used, is defined within the View Configurations dialog (Design»Board Layers & Colors).
