Set Visibility

Control the Visibility of Polygons and Triangulations

Use the Set Visibility option to control the visibility of polygons or triangulations which represent reserves according to the Reserve sheet attributes. This option is extremely useful when used in conjunction with the Chronos > Display & Query > Plot Reserves option and when setting complex dependency relationships.

This option has the same functionality as the View > Visibility > Design Visibility option.  However, this option uses the reserves as the criterion for visibility.
