Does anyone know of a good tutorial or description to make underlays work properly?  I have spent tons of time checking and adjusting view ranges of all levels and cannot get this thing to work.  Basically it shows elements that are higher than the level (ie- underlay the first floor on the foundation and it shows second floor plus some roof, underlay the second floor and it shows ceiling and roof, etc.).  The related posts here all say "mess with the view ranges" but I think I've exhausted all combinations.  It's driving me crazy!

Thanks for any help.

Start with the Help and try to understand what it says.  Use underlay and then View Properties

Thanks for the reply.  OK, I think that cleared it up (correct me if I'm wrong)- a "level 1" underlay show everything that falls between level 1 and level 2, which (in my case) included the level2 floor system and some low roofs, so it shows those too.  I then just have to "hide in view" the elements i don't want to see (floor system and roof).

Thanks!

A level 1 underlay will show what you have on in your level 1 view....

 

BTW - Use underlays for layout but I would never leave them on in the view because that will give you "pick" problems for all sorts of things like dimensions and tags.
