Detailed Description

Layer attribute representation.

Remarks

Layers work the same way as if you would use Archicad from the user interface. This means you cannot create elements on a locked or hidden layer. This is especially important if you write an I/O type Add-On, as in this case you need to create elements on visible layers, and then modify the visibility of the layers.

There is no additional data assigned to layer attributes in the API_AttributeDef structure.

    The `flags` field of the header can take the following values:
    |Value|Description|
    |--- |--- |
    |APILay_Hidden|The layer is hidden.|
    |APILay_Locked|The layer is locked.|
    |APILay_NotMine|The layer is not mine.|
    |APILay_ForceToWire|The elements on the layer are shown in wireframe mode in the corresponding Layer
    Combination.| |APILay_Xref|The layer is coming from an XREF-ed (DWG or DXF) drawing. These layers are
    grouped in the Layer Settings dialog.|
