Use a hotspot to toggle layers

Hi, thanks for posting in the Lucid Community! To create a button that will toggle between showing and hiding your layers:

1. Create the object that you want to act as your “button”. In the example below, I’ve created an office floor plan, and I want clicking on a chair to reveal additional information about who that seat is assigned to.

2. Create the corresponding Layers for each object that you’d like to toggle and fill it with the relevant objects and desk. In the example, I’ve made a layer that corresponds to each desk. Within each layer, I’ve created another box with additional information about the person who sits at that desk.

3. To toggle layers, right-click the “button” object > More actions > Add action > Layers. In the “toggle” dropdown menu, select the layer that you want to be associated with this action. In the example, I’ve chosen the layer “Desk 1” corresponding with the “Desk 1” object.

4. Once you select “Done”, your button is ready to go! See the GIF below for a demonstration of the button in action.

Check out our Help Center for more information on adding an action or link to a shape in Lucidchart. Hope this helps!
