Session 5 of the Layer Maker Course
This session covers the Document View, Layer's deliverable engine. If you need to produce a Room Data Sheet, a condition report, an FF&E specification, or any other structured PDF that pulls live data from your project, this is where it happens.
By the end of the hour, you'll know how to build a Document View template, link it to your element data, and export polished PDFs.
