Jaco, you are correct. I meant "during editing".
I did come up with a quasi-isolution:
I grouped each layer's bricks, which allows me to easily set hide each
layer. Then, when I need a quick placement reference, I click group in model
parts list window and it renders in the current view in outline mode. As
soon as I select a current piece, the outline reference disappears and I can
continue working.
Not elegant, but it works. :)
