Why does a solid color filled region only show in front of certain model geometries?

I have a filled region (colored in orange) I'm trying to place over 3D objects on a plan view. The color of the filled region is successfully showing on top of a Floor category model (grey rectangle). At the same time the color of the filled region is not showing over the isolated footings (red circles) that belongs in the Structural foundation category.

The masking parameter of the filled region is not checked as I do not want to mask over other objects such as my posts. If I set this filled region to mask I would have to draw 2D posts on top of the filled region which makes modeling pointless if I have to redraw it.

I had thought that filled regions would always appear on top of every 3D model geometry but for some reason the filled region color can only stay on top of certain categories??

In previous versions, this behavior (non-masking solid pattern regions falling behind elements) used to affect other elements too if such elements were overriden by filter or visibility graphics. They seem to have partially fixed in for some elements but not for foundations. Maybe if enough people report it as a bug they might fix it for foundations too

 

Here is a sample from 2022 (same in 2023).

  • The foundations (pink) and the Floor Element (green) had their surface pattern overriden with a solid pattern
  • Solid Non-Masking Region (orange) falls below overriden elements
