Reversed display order of lines in elevations.

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know why the lines around elements in elevations draw themselves in completely the wrong order?

In the example elevation below, the pink wall is furthest away from the elevation line, but it visually overlaps the black horizontal lines that form the closest wall where they meet. Likewise with the other lines.

This is a seriously annoying problem, as any faded lines from the marked distant area actually overlap the bold lines at the front of a drawing! It is especially prominant with a bold ground line. Any PDFs produced from the drawing also display this error!

You can tediously get around this problem using the manual display order controls for every single element, but the whole point of modeling in 3d is that is you shouldn't have to!

I have noticed this behavior happened in AC10+11 also, so it has been around for a while. Why has it not been fixed yet? It's fundamental to the clarity of the outputted drawings - the primary function of ArchiCAD.

Please confirm I'm not going mad, or I've missed some hidden setting that reverses the expected effect!

Here is the plan view of the walls.

The pink wall is at the back. The black wall is closest to the elevation line.
