Show and hide layers in the Viewer

The Layers pill sits in the Viewer's top-right stack and reads "Layers (visible/total)". On the Retail Mart Store demo, with everything visible, it reads Layers (11/11). Click it to open a panel in two parts. Shape kinds come first, then the facility's data-link layers, grouped by type.

The panel only lists kinds that have at least one shape on the floors you're viewing. On a floor with no markers or 3D models, for example, those rows don't appear. Each row shows a coloured icon, the kind's name, a count such as "12/12", a chevron and an eye toggle.

Walls and aisles have no row, so they can't be hidden from here. A hidden kind also stops blocking things behind it. Hide Floor Plans, for example, and markers on a lower floor are no longer hidden under the slab above.

Click a row's name (not its eye) to expand it. You get a list of every shape of that kind, by name, or "#id" when the shape has no name. The crosshair button next to each one (Zoom to item) flies the map to it.

Below the shape kinds, every data link on the facility is listed, grouped under Sensors, Cameras, Assets or Other. The group comes from the layer's name:

So a layer called Environmental sensors shows under Sensors, while layers called Staff or Equipment fall under Other. To move a layer to another group, rename it in the data-link editor. Each group header shows a count such as "4/4" and a Hide all / Show all link that switches every layer in the group at once.

• Colour dot: the layer's default colour, so you can match the row to the map.
• Name: the data link's name.
• off badge: the layer is disabled, so it doesn't draw. The row is dimmed.
• Filter chip: the name of the saved filter the layer is showing, if any. You change it from the Filters pill.
• Chevron: click the row to list the layer's records.
• Eye: hide or show the layer for your visit.
• Power button: turn the layer on or off for everyone ("Enable layer" / "Disable layer").

Click a data-link row to expand it. The first time, the Viewer loads the layer's records. Each record is named by the layer's label field (staff names for Staff on duty, for example) and has a Zoom to item crosshair.

In "Layers (N/M)", M is the number of shape kinds listed plus the number of data links, and N is how many of them are visible. The pill doesn't appear at all when the facility has no shapes and no data links.

• A share link can hide the whole panel: turn off Layers panel on its Viewer chrome tab.
• A kind the link hides on its Layout tab can't be brought back by the guest. Its row may still be listed, but the eye does nothing for it.
• A data link the link hides on its Data links tab starts switched off, and the guest can switch it back on here.
