Order the Geometry Layers

You can order geometry layers if there are multiple layers to be overlaid.

  1. In the Grammar pane, click Layer Options for an existing layer, and then click Order Layer.
  2. Click Send Backward. The new layer is sent backwards behind the previous layer, and the previous layer moves in front of the latest layer added

    This example shows how a new layer called Storm Buffer is added on top of an existing layer which has the geometry column Geometry column from a layer called Storm Line. Since it’s overlaid on top of an existing layer, the Storm Line layer is no longer visible
