Section line, send to back

Khadourwaseem — Thu, 23 Dec 2021 13:10:31 GMT

Is there a way to control the draw order of grids bubbles, I have two section one created before the grids and the second after, yet because it was created after the grids, it's now showing, on top of the draw bubbles. Is there a way to control the draw order of grids, or section lines ?

Cut the Grids >>> Paste them Aligne to same place

Two Grids in exactly the same place (e.g. overlapping in the View)? If this is what you mean, why not just hide those overalappers? Maybe through a Filter?

Doing that will result in losing all dimensions to that grid line, and I have +100 views, and that is a no go.

That is not what am looking for, I just wanted to send my grid line to front so they mask the section line underneath

@Khadourwaseem

Send to back is not possible...so it is

either switch off the bubble and place a dummy Grid on top (lock together)
Or what was previously suggested Cut to Clipboard and Paste Aligned same place

You can create a new symbol and it can be used mask then add to the project and change all them to your symbol

It already has a mask layer, It's just Revit has a draw order, and If you create a section after you've created the grids, they will always appear on top of the grid bubble.
Look like creating a dummy and placing it on top of the bubbles is the only option in front of me.
