Viewing and Hiding Layers

Note: As of 07/08/2024, SketchUp will no longer offer or support SketchUp Viewer for VR as part of any SketchUp subscription plan. To continue viewing your SketchUp models in VR, use the SketchUp Viewer for Quest, our free viewer for use on the Meta Quest 2, 3 and Pro devices, or the Trimble Connect Visualizer, a workflow extension available through Extension Warehouse. For more information, see SketchUp and the Trimble Connect Visualizer.

If a model contains layers that were created in SketchUp, you can view those layers in SketchUp Viewer. (For an introduction to layers in SketchUp, see Controlling Visibility with Layers in the SketchUp area of the Help Center.)

In SketchUp Viewer, you access a model’s layers as follows:

  1. Click the Main Menu icon ().
  2. Click the Layers icon (), and the Layers tab appears, as shown in the following figure.
    IMG

The Eye icon () next to a layer name indicates that the layer is visible. Click the Eye icon to toggle the layer’s visibility.

To navigate through the list of layers, click the up or down arrow on the right. Or use the trackpad to scroll through the list.
