Floor fill on floor plan showing above items although it is set back!

I build floor from "slab" tool and some flooring is tile. I set the Floor fill to be also the tile shape so it shows on floor plan as such.

But then, no matter what I do , the Fill is showing on floor plan at where is cabinetry making the floor plan look busy. it should not show "above" objects that sits on the slab, including furniture but it does show it as it.

- no overrides

- Display order is set to the back of the backs possible..

- Floor height is correct (and yes, it is set to be under objects).

- Objects are not transparent for it to be showing floor texture underneath...I also tested furniture, it would also show above it.

- No, I can't cut the floor right at cabinetry because it needs to be underneath toekicks which are 3" from top view of the cabs which would show anotheerrrrr line.

- yes, I can just use simple 2D cover fill above just standard clean slab... But because of schedules, it is not ideal to do it that way...

the goalis for me to have clear plans and I don't want flooring fill showing if item is sitting on it (including furniture).

What else could be wrong that the Fills are showing above items although the slab is underneath and push back in display order?

Are you sure those cabinets have solid fills or non transparent background pen?

It works out of the box for me.

Slab with a cover fill, cabinet with a solid white fill.

Check that your GO is not making Cover Fills transparent.

It could also be a Trace & Reference setting.

I will check again but I am pretty much sure because it also covers furniture around the house and basically everything 😔

Graphic Override

If things are not showing as expected, the issue is often either Graphic Overrides (GO) or Model View Options (MVO).

Changes can also be caused by Renovation Filters which are basically just special Graphic Overrides.

No, I don't have any overrides turned on. I tried to click on everything available and it is not working

I did not have trace turned on but I found the setting, clicked on the make fills and zone transparent (display only) but it did not help

I checked again it was the transparency of the cabinet. 😭 Well, thank you @Barry Kelly

I am confused, you have selected two posts as the solution.

So have you found the solution or is it still not working for you?

I have checked the ci tools cabinetry and some furniture pieces and for some unknown reason they were set to be transparent so it was the issue. I thought I checked it
