We're five projects into Archicad and one year experience and just now learning how display order can be a serious annoyance. I'm surprised to see this message thread end in 2011. The issue still seems relevant. Has Graphisoft made some improvement as 'wished for' in the previous posts over 4/5 years ago? Am I missing something? Or do we still not have an 'out of the box' (no third party purchasing required) solution to make display order stacking less of a mystery?
In our case simply adding arrows to show direction of roof slopes is a tedious task. Sometimes they're on top, sometimes we have to dig for them (display order stack). Even leaders sometimes are covered by roofs or slabs or walls. Why would anyone ever want a leader covered by the model elements?!!!
Is this just another sad behavior that other successful Archicad users have become accustomed to in their workflow?
