# \[2026.04.23] Revamped editor features

#### 1. Editor

**1.1. Editor > Overhauled layer management and added detailed settings**

Existing **Layer Management Page**is **1) Resource Management**and **2) Layer Management** are split into two pages.

**Before**

**Layer Management Page**

You can set floor heights and add/create floors, and it is structured so you can see the spaces and items contained in each floor at a glance.

**After**

**1. Layer Management Page**

In addition to setting floor height and adding/creating floors, you can also adjust detailed settings such as net area, slab thickness, and wall/floor transparency. The layer management UI is always visible in the right panel.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.archisketch.com/guide/intro-en/update-note/2026/202604/20260423.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
