Picture In Front Of Fill?

Anonymous — Mon, 24 Apr 2006 17:00:23 GMT

I created a GDL by drawing the object in ArchiCAD and saving it as a GDL. The GDL contains one picture. I then added a masking fill to the GDL, and now the fill is on top of the picture. I have tried changing the order the objects are drawn, but I can't get the picture to display in front of the masking fill. Help!

You may need to add a few DRAWINDEX commands so you can control the display order within the object.

Tom,

I never knew about DRAWINDEX. Thanks!

That's one of those " reaching desperation, frantically searching the manual" kind of commands, not one you normally see 🙂
