With the accessibility setting Change Space Level In Machine View enabled you can do exactly what it says, but not if you're holding a machine in hand. When going up the layers it'll block you after reaching machine level 3 and you can't go up to space layer 2, machine level 1

Changing space levels is not possible if holding a machine based blueprint if the Change Space Level In Machine View setting is on
To Do • Priority: Medium • Fix: None • Game: 1.0.3-rc3

When the Change Space Level In Machine View setting is enabled, changing Space Platform levels becomes impossible while holding a machine or machine-based blueprint in Machine View. To reproduce, enable the setting, enter Machine View on a Space Platform, and copy a Conveyor Belt or other machine. Attempting to use E to move up to the next Space Platform level will fail while holding the copied item. Moving between Space Platform levels should work regardless of whether the player is holding ...

Space layer changes when pressing SHIFT+E/Q while placing a blueprint in game.
Done • Priority: High • Fix: 1.0.0 Release • Resolution: Fix Verified

When placing a blueprint in shapez 2, pressing SHIFT+E or SHIFT+Q causes the machine level view to switch unexpectedly. This occurs in Classic Mode when entering placement mode (CTRL+V to paste) and holding SHIFT while pressing E or Q during blueprint placement. The expected behavior is that machine level switching should be disabled while placing a blueprint. The fix ensures blueprint placement now follows the same behavior as other placements, where the keybindings for switching levels are ...

Changing space levels is impossible in the overview view if not holding something
To Do • Priority: Medium • Fix: Post 1.0 • Game: 1.0.0

When in Space View without holding anything for placement, the player cannot change machine levels using Q/E or the UI, as the level-switching UI is missing entirely in Space View. The issue is reproducible by starting a Classic Mode game, switching levels normally in Machine View, then zooming out to Space View where the controls disappear. Changing levels should be possible in both Space View and Machine View, and the UI for doing so should be visible in both views.

Thank you for your report KuronoKira! Just to make sure, this occurs when holding a Blueprint either by copying a machine or selecting a saved BP, correct?
