AC IS WORST SOFTWARE EVER!

[Anonymous]

I have tried all day to draw elevations using a hatch to block certain areas out.

in order to do so, i have to rely heavily on the send backwards, forwards, to back, to front commands.

i have used alot of different software for illustration and drafting. these commands are messed up and lie!

i have lines in front of something, and send it to front and it tells me that the operation is not possible because it is already at the front.

this is nearly the last straw.

just thought i would vent hoping someone would straighten me out and make eat my words.

My two cents:
Having struggled with these stacking levels many times, I like the idea of having stacking numbers associated and viewable somehow.
Maybe marquee-ing an area with option to have a visual map pop up showing
the status of stacking in the area?
Maybe even in 3D?
Is it really that hard to do?

lec1212 You are absolutely right.
Stacking is really a mess.
There should be also some stacking priority as with layers, with some elements always on top.
If I place a dimension or a grid element I want it to always be visible. But for some reason grid elements cannot go to the top stack. Very frustrating. http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=39970&highlight=

Thanks all.
I'll try the send-to-back strategy a little more than I have been until
maybe a stacking upgrade happens.

You also might want to add a hot spot for easier placement control, before you save the marquee area as a patch object.
