# Levels
**Panel:** Grids And Levels | **Menu:** Levels
Tools for controlling level header visibility and level extents in the active view.
All of these act on the **active view** only, and on the levels visible in it. They are the
level counterparts of the [Grids](grids.md) tools and follow the same start/end convention —
but note there is no level equivalent of *Extend Grids* or *Propagate Grids*.

##
Show Headers Start
Switches **on** the header at the start end (end 0) of every level visible in the active view.
It only turns headers on; it never turns one off.
---
##
Show Headers End
Switches **on** the header at the finish end (end 1) of every level visible in the active view.
---
##
All Heads Off
Hides the headers at **both ends** of every level visible in the active view.
---
##
All Levels to 2D
Sets both ends of every level visible in the active view to **2D**, so that extent and header
changes made in this view no longer affect other views.
---
##
Toggle Headers Start
##
Toggle Headers End
Toggles the header at end 0 (Start) or end 1 (End) for **levels you pick**.
Run the tool first — it starts a pick prompt ("Select levels") filtered to the Levels
category. Pick the levels, finish the selection, and their headers at that end are flipped.
There is no need to pre-select anything before launching.

## Notes
- Levels are visible in section and elevation views, so that is where these tools are
normally used.
- Levels set to 3D share their extents across views. Run **All Levels to 2D** in a view first
if you want changes there to stay local to it.
- If a tool reports no levels in the view, check the view's crop, extents and category
visibility — the tools only see levels the view actually shows.
