Show/Hide Stand SQMs

Show / Hide Stand Square Meterage

Why would you want to hide the stand SQMs? You may have very small stands where space is limited, leaving little space for the stand number and stand name. You may just want the stands to look clean and neat for a catalog plan for example.

There are 2 ways of hiding the stand square meterage (SQMs), each has it's own pros and cons.

  1. Use Layers to show/hide all stand SQMs - This shows/hides SQMs for all stands and can be shown/hidden per View
  2. Hide SQMs for individual stands - This can be useful when needing to hide the SQM for just a small selection of stands in a pavilion for example, but you cannot show/hide them per View.

Instructions for using both options are listed below.

Option 1 - Show / Hide SQMs for all stands by using Layers
