        """Adds a new layer

        An IFC layer is like a CAD layer. Portions of an object's geometry
        (typically portions of its 2D linework) can be assigned to layers, which
        can provide stylistic information such as line weights, colours, or
        simply be used for filtering.

        Layers have historically been used to organise CAD data and included in
        ISO standards such as ISO 13567 or by the AIA. This alllows IFC data to
        be compatible with older, 2D-oriented, layer-based workflows.

        Some software that are still based on layers, such as Tekla or ArchiCAD
        may also use this layer information for filtering.

        :param Name: The name of the layer. Defaults to "Unnamed".
        :type Name: str, optional
        :return: The newly created IfcPresentationLayerAssignment element
        :rtype: ifcopenshell.entity_instance.entity_instance

        Example:

            ifcopenshell.api.run("layer.add_layer", model, Name="AI-WALL-FULL-DIMS-N")
