Have a drawing for floor plan, made some symbols on “Electrical Symbols” layer. When I copy them to the Layer for “floor 1 electrical” layer as the active layer, they carry the “Electrical Symbols” property. That makes sense. So then I select all the symbols added and change properties to “floor 1 electrical”
If I click on any symbol, properties show “floor 1 electrical”
The wierd part: making the “electrical symbols” layer invisible makes the symbols in “floor 1 electrical” go away also. Conversely, making “floor 1 electrical” not visible does not make"electrical symbols" disappear.
The only layer that does behaves like you would expected is LayerO (actually the lack of…)
Than, geometry that is isolated by making it a group or component responds to the layer of that group ( or component)
Materials applied to groups or components act the same, if a face has a texture, that texture will prevail over the applied texture of the group where the face resides.
My guess from two days ago was correct. You are using Layers/Tags incorreectly which is the cause of your problems. You have layers/tags assigned to raw geometry. In the following the component has one layer/tag while the geometry inside has a different layer/tag. So turning either layer/tag visibility off will impact the symbol.
