/* Defining the Layer Stack-Up */

You can add new layers to your project's stack-up or delete its layers, or move layers up or down and thus change the layer hierarchy. To add a new background layer, click the arrow symbol on the {{key|Insert…}} button at the bottom of the dialog and select '''Substrate Layer''' from the button's dropdown list. A new dialog opens up where you can enter a label for the new layer and values for its material properties and thickness in project units. You can delete a layer by selecting its row in the table and clicking the '''Delete''' button. To move a layer up and down, click on its row to select and highlight it. Then click either the '''Move Up''' or '''Move Down''' buttons consecutively to move the selected layer to the desired location in the stack-up. Note that you cannot delete or move the top or bottom half-spaces. After creating a substrate layer, you can always edit its properties in the Layer Stack-up Settings dialog. Click on any layer's row in the table to select and highlight it and then click the {{key|Edit}} button. The substrate layer dialog opens up, where you can change the layer's label and assigned color as well as its constitutive parameters.
For better visualization of your planar structure, [[EM.Picasso]] displays a virtual domain in a default orange color to represent part of the infinite background structure. The size of this virtual domain is a quarter wavelength offset from the largest bounding box that encompasses all the finite objects in the project workspace. You can change the size of the virtual domain or its display color from the Domain Settings dialog, which you can access either by clicking the '''Computational Domain''' [[File:domain_icon.png]] button of the '''Simulate Toolbar''', or using the keyboard shortcut {{key|Ctrl+A}}. Keep in mind that the virtual domain is only for visualization purposes and its size does not affect the MoM simulation. The virtual domain also shows the substrate layers in translucent colors. If you assign different colors to your substrate layers, you have get a better visualization of multilayer virtual domain box surrounding your project structure.
