About the levels menu
I have a suggestion that might make the levels menu a bit easier to read.
Using words like hide and show instead of make, and also grouping it, the menu could look something like this:

Add level
Add level at same elevation
---
Hide selected level
Show only selected level
Show all levels
---
Modify selected level
Delete selected level


Could this be an idea?
What do you think?

Re: About the levels menu
I used Make viewable / unviewable rather than Hide / Display / Show to avoid confusion with the Display menu items in the 3D view menu. So a level can be viewable but hidden in the 3D view.

Re: About the levels menu
I see the problem.
Show and Hide are common terms, but they might, as you point out, create confusion.

Another thing:
Would it be possible that the modify level window could pop up automatically when adding a new level? That would be great for naming and for setting height and especially floor thickness, something I have noticed that I tend to forget.

Re: About the levels menu
@Xiste:
I absolutely agree with you!
To make something un-viewable is just a complicated way of saying hide.
Hide and show are much better terms, as they are precisely to the point and immediately leads you in the right direction.
I really don't see Puybaret's point here, and how this can create any confusion. We're dealing with the visibility of levels. What can that possibly be confused with?

That said, I think custom shortcuts would be a great idea as the program continues to expand and get more and more options.
Photoshop has several hundreds commands we can define our own personal shortcuts for.

The automatic pop-up is also a great idea!
