Layer draw order sometimes unintuitive

Open mdehoog opened this issue 12 years ago • 1 comments

The draw order of the layers is top-to-bottom; layers below in the list are drawn after/on-top-of layers at the top of the list. For some users this can be confusing. It gets even more confusing for 3D data layers that need to be drawn first and then transparent imagery layers are drawn over the top.

Is there a way of automatically ordering layers? Or do we just need to provide more help/documentation on how the layer ordering affects the drawing?

Is this satisfactorily addressed with the "Draw Order" tab in the Scene panel? It makes the ordering pretty intuitive, even if it still requires some manual interaction.
