[Scanifly PV System Design](https://help.scanifly.com/scanifly-pv-system-design?hsLang=en) # Updated Layers Menu (2026) ## The Layers menu has been redesigned to provide a more intuitive, flexible, and space-efficient workflow. ### **A New, Flexible Sidebar** The Layers menu has been fully rebuilt: - Menus can be **moved**, **rearranged**, or **collapsed** to maximize design space. - The new layout is designed to be more intuitive for both new and experienced users. ### **Repositioning Menus** **![adjusting layers menu location](https://help.scanifly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/adjusting%20layers%20menu%20location.gif?width=670&height=346&name=adjusting%20layers%20menu%20location.gif)** To move a menu panel: - Click and hold the **six-dot drag handle** at the top of the panel - A blue highlight will indicate the snapping placement areas - Drop the panel where you want it ### **Segment Listing & Sorting** **![segment sorting options](https://help.scanifly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/segment%20sorting%20options.gif?width=370&height=251&name=segment%20sorting%20options.gif)** In order to more easily organize complex designs, segments can be sorted by: - **Name** - **Module count** - **TSRF %**   ### **New Properties Panel** Previously, selecting a segment opened a long vertical dropdown list of the segment properties. Now, selecting a segment opens a **Properties panel**, which: - Streamlines navigation between segments - Reduces user error with more visual cues to which segment they are editing in the Layers menu itself - Uses a more compact horizontal layout while maintaining familiar tools and formatting ### **Layers Reorganization** **![](https://help.scanifly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-19-2025-06-23-39-9117-PM.png?width=494&height=223&name=image-png-Nov-19-2025-06-23-39-9117-PM.png)** The following tools are still a part of the Layers menu, but have been relocated - Trees, rulers, occluders, and animations now appear **below your roof segments**   Check out this [DEMO](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1chLbuAS9e_3iA_2-y1MmTN67m4tvHQrw/view?usp=sharing) for a more visual learning experience with more depth. ### **Need help?** If you are struggling with finding something in the new Layers menu, please reach out to our chat support, or email us at hello@scanifly.com. -
