# April 2026 Updates
This April, handling drawings in the editor has become even more convenient.
In particular **the layer management feature has been greatly revamped**as
making it possible to quickly handle settings that are often adjusted during the design process in one place.
***
The most noticeable change is that the existing layer management page has been split into **Layer Management**and **Resource Management**, two pages.
**Before**On the previous page, floor height settings, adding/creating floors, and checking the spaces and items included in each floor were all gathered on one page.
**After**, on the Layer Management page, you can instantly adjust detailed settings such as not only floor height but also actual area, slab thickness, and wall/floor transparency, and this panel is always visible on the right, so your workflow is not interrupted.
The Resource Management page has been separated into a dedicated screen where you can view, as a whole, the spaces and items included in each floor.
***
In the Layer Management panel, **Net Area**and **Net Area + Area Including Interior/Exterior Walls** you can immediately check information and also directly edit the overall floor size.
However, please note that if you change the overall floor size, the wall, floor, and ceiling finishes edited in the finish editor will be reset to their default values,
and the ceiling structures created with the ceiling editor will be deleted.
When changes are made, the following guidance message is displayed.
***
**Slab thickness** can also be set in the same Layer Management panel. When you change the input value, it is immediately applied to the entire floor.
Slab Thickness 1
Slab Thickness 1000
**The transparency of walls and floors**can now also be adjusted individually.
It can be checked in both 2D and 3D, making it useful for drawing review or presentations.
Wall transparency 0 (2D)
Wall transparency 0 (3D)
Floor transparency 0 (2D)
Floor transparency 0 (3D)
***
There are also changes in Render Studio.
**Hide inner/outer walls options**have been newly added, so the wall transparency (culling) settings are reflected directly in the rendering results.
You can render in various combinations, such as making walls transparent, hiding only inner walls, or hiding only outer walls.
Wall Transparency Render
Exterior Wall Hiding Render
Interior Wall Hiding Render (+Wall Transparency)
Hide Both Interior and Exterior Walls
***
**Specification Editor**has also gained ceiling content.
A complete ceiling drawing for the designed plan is automatically generated, and you can see the placement status of ceiling items at a glance.
***
There is also good news for those working in 3D mode.
Previously only possible in 2D mode, **copying in a row**is now supported in 3D mode as well.
Before — available only in 2D mode
After — available in 3D mode as well
***
It has become more convenient even when handling multiple items at once.
**Group property feature**has been added, so after selecting multiple items, you can set angles, positions, heights, and more all at once.
***
Lastly **Parametric Editor**has also been improved. You can now copy and paste modeling, parametric component items, and entire items, and it works properly across different browsers as well (e.g., Chrome ↔ Edge).

## 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.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
