As objects belonging to levels with a greater index that the one of the selected level won't be displayed, this should allow you to organize the objects of your plan similarly to layers in other graphics software. The order of the levels at the same elevation can also be changed with up dans down buttons that appear at the right of the Levels summary list (now ordered from top elevation to bottom). When a level is not viewable, the objects it contains are simply not displayed in the furniture list, the plan and the 3D view, and its tab is written with a lighter color. This should allow you to easily test some arrangements by adding different furniture in two separate levels that you'll display alternately.

Each polyline can be customized afterwards with its modification pane that lets you choose its thickness, the type of arrows at each of its ends, the kind of drawing used to join multiple lines, its dash style and its color. These lines appear only in the plan and should help to improve its documentation. The new Plan > Create polylines menu item and its toolbar icon allows you to draw polylines and polygons.
