Stefan B. Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Hey,  Right click and send back or bring forward is you solution. CTRL+B CTRL+F is your shortctcuts. 🙂 Quote Link to comment
Ben3B Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 Thanks @Stefan B., but because its an accessory the send to back function doesn't work, the light and the accessory are as one object 😉 Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee TomWhiteLight Posted January 19, 2023 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 19, 2023 OK, So I have tried this a number of ways using your content and also Vectorworks Stock Content. It looks to be a case of works as designed. Â What we are seeing are expected outcomes. So a couple of things... I will make an enhancement request to enable stacking order within edit accessories, For now your options are... Option 1 - Customise the 2d components to 'Clip Surface' the middle of the stand (Screenshot attached). Â Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee TomWhiteLight Posted January 19, 2023 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 19, 2023 Option 2 1. duplicate the stand and remove the accessory record. 2. Insert the stand as a hybrid object, Make it a hanging position and insert the lighting device. 3. (Optional) Create a Schematic View of the HP 4. Select all objects and create a symbol with convert to group enabled.  You have now mad a light on a stand with a schematic view that you can click to insert into your document and simply replace lighting device for a different fixture.  Quote Link to comment

Ok but why it doesn't happen with clamp ? Your option 1 looks good 😉 My problem doesn't happen with clamp because they don't have 2d component ...   but your option 2, I did it in past without the hanging position so it didn't work and I wasn't able to edit fixture's pan and tilt ... But your method is ok, and maybe quicker than mine, but I need as many symbol as stand I can use 😉 1 Quote Link to comment
