Send a region highlight area to the back of order flow bars

[MSerag]

Hi all,
I wonder whether we can send a region highlight area (shift+F2) to the back of the order flow bars? Becasue the color of the higlighted area interfers with the delta colors in each bar, it is convenient to have it sent to the back of the bars. Do we have access to this option?
Regards.

Hello,

Thanks for the post.

You may change the Z-order of your region highlight to place it behind the order flow bars. To do so, select your highlight region so that the dots on the anchor line appear. Next, hold the CTRL+SHIFT keys and scroll your mouse wheel to change the order of this object.

You can read more about working with Z-order below:

Thank you for your response. It seems that the transparency of the order flow cells (whether red or green) does not allow this functionality. Please see attached: the outline (upper and lower) of the highlight area is below the green bar but the highlight area still evident. This is due to the transparency of the color inside each cell. Apparently there is no an option to control the transparency of the color of cells. otherwise, I am missing something. Please advise.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

I see what you mean, the two highlighted regions do tend to blur together a bit. The only way I found that made it visually a little easier to see the colors of the Volumetric bars was to lower the opacity of the Region Highlight.

In my screenshot below, the left region is set to an opacity of 5, and the right to the default of 25:
