Layer & Alignment

Stacked floors that line up, and layer standards that carry over

What is layer & alignment in CAFM?

Layer and alignment tools make a set of drawings behave as one building. A dedicated extents layer aligns stacked floors so risers, elevators and columns register vertically, and the layer set importer brings standard layer structures in from an existing facility system instead of rebuilding them by hand.

2 tools in this set

Vertical Alignment Extents Layer

A dedicated extents layer that aligns stacked multi-floor layouts precisely.

Layer Set Importer

Import standard layer structures and predefined layer sets from external facility systems.

Vertical alignment is what makes stacking plans, riser diagrams and multi-floor reporting trustworthy.
Consistent layer standards are the difference between a drawing set that onboards in minutes and one that needs manual remapping per floor.
Both are one-time preparation costs that every later revision benefits from.
