Can someone please explain plan view "other level' wall visibility?
I'm running 6.4.2 currently.

I've read everything I can find, but the behavior does not make sense to me.
If I create a new layout, add a couple walls at "level 0", then create a "new level" (level 1), the prior level walls are shown as "hidden" (guides)...If I raise the height of first levels walls above the "floor thickness", and intrude into the other level elevation, these walls become editable...all good so far.

If I set level 0 active, and "add level at same elevation" (level 2), I can see level 0 (as editable), and level 1 as guides...ok.

Now going back to level 0 active, my level 2 walls are completely unseen (even though at same elevation).

If I add another level to plan (level 3), this level is completely unseen from level 0,1,2 (even though "upper level 1" is visible from level 0). Why is "upper level 3" not visible to adjacent "lower level 1"??

Having levels available as guides is a necessity in my opinion, so this behavior is quite frustrating.
Somehow it seems like there are some complicated (possibly contradictory rules in play). Can someone please explain them?

To me, it would just seem that having some attributes in the level settings like "visible" and "locked" would be simpler then whatever is going on now.
TIA
