The middle image omits everything except the plane layer you can even see the clearance around some vias on the plane layer.

The left image shows the regular layout with multiple layers visible and the ground plane on the back layer (shown in blue). An example is shown below you can cycle through these three different views with the Shift + S shortcut key. I like to use this to focus on layout in a single layer and ignore anything that’s going on in all other layers. This is probably the quick viewing option I use most as I often need to focus on only a single layer. Here are the three viewing options I use most often in Altium Designer to stay organized and productive. When I’m scanning through a layout from one of my engineers, or when I’m trying to follow a long trace through a board, the view options in Altium Designer save me a ton of time and help prevent confusion in a dense layout. I’ll start with some of the basic viewing options needed to quickly scan through a complex PCB layout and how you can access these through the keyboard. Here are some of my favorite keyboard shortcuts and viewing options that help me stay productive, and I hope they can do the same for you. The other very useful set of features in Altium Designer are the view options, which help you focus on essential structures in the design. Altium Designer® keyboard shortcuts, and keyboard + mouse shortcuts, can help you easily walk through your PCB layout during design and as part of final checks during a design review. When you’re working through a complex PCB layout, it always helps to know the shortcuts you can use to stay productive.
