Issue Description
Is there a way to reset the Display Order?
Solution
In Archicad, the display order (or stacking order) of elements is determined by element classes, which establish a default visual hierarchy. Here’s how you can reset and manage the display order to resolve overlapping issues:
Go to Edit > Display Order > Reset to Default Order.
This will return elements to their original class-based order:
- Annotation (Text, Labels, all Dimension types, Zone Stamps)
- 2D artwork (Lines, Circles, Splines, Hotspots)
- Library Parts (Objects, Lamps, Stairs)
- 3D Structures *Walls, Beams, Slabs, Doors, Windows, Columns, Roofs, Meshes)
- 2D Fills
- Zones
- Figures
Regardless of the order in which these elements are placed, items from a higher class (like Annotations) will appear in the foreground relative to items from lower classes (like Zones or Figures).
TIP: for managing display order, refer to this comprehensive guide: Display Order.
