How to Enable Multiple Layers in 3D Mode with Adjustable Z-Axis Distances?

I have attached files (Layers.png & Screen Recording 2025-03-10 113008.mp4 ) which shows about enabling 3D mode on existing drawing and its layers are at three different heights in Z axis automatically.

I want to view multiple layers in 3D mode, ensuring they are stacked along the Z-axis  with following details specification.

  • Each layer should be distinguishable in the 3D visualization.
  • There should be an option to adjust the distance between layers along the Z-axis.
  • The software should allow me to specify a custom gap between layers (e.g., 10mm, 20mm, etc.).
  • The visualization should maintain layer alignment and visibility without overlap unless intended.
  • Ideally, I should be able to toggle between 2D and 3D views for better inspection.
  • If available, include an option to set the Z-axis distance in settings or properties.
  • Allow users to enter custom Z-axis values manually or adjust using a slider control.

 I would appreciate any guidance / possibilities to go forward in Autodesk Map 3D.

  • Each layer should be distinguishable in the 3D visualization.  A: In AutoCAD, a layer is a primary tool for organizing drawing objects by function, purpose, or other criteria, allowing you to control their visibility, color, linetype, and other properties. if You set alll of those in red color key words you should be able to see in 4D all layers
  • There should be an option to adjust the distance between layers along the Z-axis. A: there is: qselect/layer, then on proprites select layer, check the box  append to curent selection set, then lock for Z value  slelect it, on the  value box write the new  distance
  • The software should allow me to specify a custom gap between layers (e.g., 10mm, 20mm, etc.). A: look example from above
  • The visualization should maintain layer alignment and visibility without overlap unless intended.  give some examples
  • Ideally, I should be able to toggle between 2D and 3D views for better inspection. A: you can buy setup an layer state
  • If available, include an option to set the Z-axis distance in settings or properties.A: you have  the setting in properties pallet/ Geoemetry
  • Allow users to enter custom Z-axis values manually or adjust using a slider control. A: there are, UCS comm, or again using  properties pallet/ Geoemetry and then changing the value.

 hope I understud correct your demands
