Conditions for Layers?

I was curious, I think the answer might be no, if you can have one layer control another layer. For example, if I turn on the girder layer, it will turn off the balcony layer without manually turning it off? If this is possible, it would greatly help our production.

Thanks!

Ask the customization group. It sound very possible.

Although you could use a lisp with built in reactors (custumization boards), it sounds very cumbersome and difficult to maintain, especially when you want to change the relations between the layers. You could instead make layer groups. These you can lock/freeze/turn off as a group. All the layers in the group will change as you change the status of the group and you can still change the layers individually. If you want to have several representations of your layers pre-saved, take a look at layerstates instead
