-======== Geometry Layout Commands ========
-The geometry layout commands define how geometric shapes are drawn.  Some geo layouts are contained after the Level data blocks and some are loaded with [[Level Commands#17: Load ROM to Segment|Level Command 0x17]] The first byte of the geo layout command is the command type.  Unlike the level commands, there is no length byte specified in the command.  Most geo layout commands are constant length, however, some depend on the values set.
-===== Drawing Layers =====
-^ Layer ^ Description ^
-| 00 | Unused |
-| 01 | Entirely Solid |
-| 02 | Unused |
-| 03 | Unused |
-| 04 | Transparent pixels, no semi transparency. Allows perfect layering with other transparencies around it. |
-| 05 | Semi transparency enabled. Layering must be handled with the order of drawn faces. |
-| 06 | Semi transparency enabled. Layering must be handled with the order of drawn faces. This layer is always drawn behind layer 05, usually for shadows. |
