Remove background from LOGO (layouts)

cocoloco — Sat, 12 Oct 2024 17:26:40 GMT

Hi! Some of our layouts include visuals only on the page and want to show only LOGO (over the visuals). I have all kinds of files but archicad seem to only show the logo no matter what with background . This is 2024. Archicad doesn't have feature that would upload png or other files, WITHOUT BACKGROUND?

Again. the goal is to spread the visuals over layout but have logo still show. Obviously, it looks really stupid with the logo with white background over it . You can only imagine 😄

Please is there some plugin or workaround that would enable this feature, to hide background when there is none?

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon new

If I bring a logo in using the 'drawing' tool (the logo is just a JPG file with a white background) and I bring to the front display order, it will cover all that is behind it.

But if I now set that 'drawing' to have a transparent background, the white disappears.

This doesn't matter if I do this in the plan window or on a layout page.

How are you placing your logo on the layout?

Does your logo have a white background?

Edit: @Barry Kelly This worked, thank you! However when I now place the logo in master layout, it shows BEHIND the photos.... I tried to change "display order" but it didnt change either. (The point is for me that I can spread the renderings on page as I want, and the logo shows ON TOP of it ?

There is a setting in the master layout settings as to whether content on a master is displayed above or below the content in the layout sheet. Set this to above.

The only issue with the "Transparent" setting is that it just makes anything white transparent rather than using the alpha channel.
