Use of symbols in 2D view

Emmanuel, I agree levels can be viewable or not. However, to use this for visbility management is somehow cumbersome. I personally use 5-7 layers per level and constantly switch their visibility on/off, depending on whom I talk to about the project and how the different objects are interacting (e.g. network with sockets, multimedia objects, switches/sensors, etc.). Based on the user communities I work with in forums and other projects, my perception is I am not even using more layers than average....

I agree. The tool is great, but I also was surprised that there is no more hierarchy. If you you this plan with serious intentions, you will either be overflooded with objects and/or need to constantly export SVG files to other tools. For example, I currently work on a a house with a quite complicated architecture. Even though I have everything readily available in SH3D, I need to use other tools for network planning, electrics, etc. Even if I do this in several levels on same elevation, my project...
