Kal Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 For some reason my symbol which I have moved to the front of the page is showing under another symbol. They are on different layers and classes. The green object has been sent to the front and it on a layer and class that is above the other solid object. Quote Link to comment
Hans-Olav Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Hi Check the stacking order of your layers https://app-help.vectorworks.net/2021/eng/index.htm#t=VW2021_Guide%2FStructure%2FChanging_the_design_layer_stacking_order.htm&rhsearch=stacking order&rhhlterm=stacking order&rhsyns= Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I don't think 3D objects respect Stacking Order. They are drawn based on their actual 3D location. 2D and Hybrid Objects use Stacking Order, but I think you are seeing is a Screen Plane object (either 2D or Hybrid) above a 3D object. Perhaps make the green object into an Autohybrid so you get a Top/Plan screen plane version that you can change the stacking order on. Or it is also very possible that @Hans-Olav diagnosed it right as a Layer stacking order issue. Quote Link to comment
Kal Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 The layers are stacked properly. These are just 2D objects saved as symbols. I will have to look into what you are referring to as Autohybrid. I have not heard this term, i am new to VW. I have created hybrid 2D and 3D objects but not Autohybrid. Quote Link to comment
Kal Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 I have removed the fill on the bottom object. This is not the final solution because the lines from the bottom object still show on top but it works for now. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 If they are just 2D objects, then Autohybrid won't do anything for you. Autohybrid takes a 3D object and creates an automatically generated 2D-Screen Plane-Top/Plan version. It is sort of like how you get 2D and 3D parts of a hybrid symbol. Can you post the file for us to look at? Or a simplified version? Quote Link to comment
Kal Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Thanks, Here is the simplified file. I went back in to edit the 2D object and put the fill back in but it showing as filled now when I had set it to none in the Attributes box. The object shows as no fill though, not sure why this is. Either way i moved one of the green objects up over the box under. You can see the dark box line is above the green line. Overlay Problem.vwx Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 It is a layer stacking issue. The solid boxes are in the Furniture layer which is above the 1-Finished Floor layer. If you put both objects on the same layer you can use the stacking order commands to get what you want. I see you using a lot of Layers and a lot of classes. You might need to rethink what you are putting in different layers and consider using more classes for some of those things. Regards, Pat Quote Link to comment
Kal Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Thanks Pat, I am new to Vectorworks so I did not know having them on different layers would be an issue. I will think about the classes more. Quote Link to comment
