stacking order in viewport

[mkue]

Hello All,

 

i drew up a schematic view of some lighting towers. In design mode everything looks fine but when i put it in a viewport, the fixtures and the horizontal truss seem to be stacked behind the tower (see screenshots)

 

What iam doing wrong here?

 

TIA

Michael

The problem is becase you are using wireframe render. Render in Hidden line and also add some fill to the Straight Trusses which are currently empty.

 

If you don't mind me saying, you have jumped through a few hoops to get a Top/Plan image of your lighting devices when using a section viewport. This would be a good use of Schematic Views.

Thanks for your answer and sorry for my late reply.

 

You are right, i have already  jumped through a  few  hoops  and  it seems that i will do even more. I stopped working with Schematic Views long time ago since this workflow was very laggy and time consuming for me. The updates and re renders of Schematic Views consume quite some time on larger projects. It also steals a lot of flexibility in my workflow. Hidden Line do not give me the colours of my symbols. Wireframe together with my customized symbols works in the most cases for me, but unfortunately not here.

 

BTW i tried to go the Schematic View route on this example to see if something changed  to the last time i used it but i had to learn that it is broken at the moment with the "Schematic Views cannot be Pasted without the Model Object they are Based On" bug, i´ll see if i have time to roll back to SP3...
