Order of levels inverted in my (Linux) version?
The levels is a fantastic feature! Thank you!
I have this problem though: I start a new project, draw a room (just a rectangle, nothing else), then add a new layer and do the same on that layer. Although I can see both rectangles under each other in the aerial view in correct order, the design view only displays the (greyed) upper rectangle when I am on the bottom level. It should be opposite, i.e., showing a level that is below, not above the currently selected one.

What I've written above is right but only for floors. If you draw walls, they become visible from the floor above. Note they are also visible from the floor below (same as floors).

As explained in the help about levels creation: To help you find your place in an upper level, walls and ceilings of the lower level are displayed with a light color in the plan view. If the selected level is the lowest level, walls and floors of the next level will be drawn in a light color.
Doesn't it sound logical for you? wink

Oh yes! You are right Puybaret. I did read the guide but somehow replaced the word ceiling with floor in my mind..
Once again, thanks a lot for this awesome feature of multiple levels!!
