🏗  Changing the Ordering of Assets

There are times when you need to change the layering of a group of assets, like when placing a sign on top of a table or putting a large background image behind an entire scene. Follow these simple steps to change how the assets layer:

  • Make sure Bulder Mode is active

  • Click on the asset you’d like to adjust. If you can't click on the asset, try searching for it in the Placed Assets list in the Assets drawer.

  • The Select drawer will open on the right. Click on the Configuration tab, then select Layers.

For Top Layer Assets:

  • Under Modify Top Layer, click Backwards or Forwards to modify the position of the Top Asset You can also add an exact number of pixels in the text field.

  • This adds or subtracts a region of transparent pixels at the base of an asset allowing the layering order to change. Adding pixels will make the asset more likely to appear in front of other nearby assets. Subtracting pixels will make the asset more likely to appear behind other nearby assets.

For Bottom Layer Assets:

  • To modify the Bottom Layer Order of the asset, select Move to Back or Move to Front. Moving to back will send the bottom layer of the asset behind all nearby back layers.

  • Remember that top-layer assets will ALWAYS appear in front of bottom-layer assets.

Sending multiple to the back will preserve the order in which they were placed, but behind all other neighbors.

Placed Assets List

If you are trying to edit an asset and can't click on it due to it being located behind another asset. Try looking for the asset in the Placed Assets List:

  • Click the Assets icon in the bottom half of the toolbar to open the Assets drawer
  • Ensure that Placed Assets is selected in the dropdown filter (it should be selected by default)
  • Scroll through the list to find the asset you are looking for, or if you know its name, use the filter to search for it. 
  • Click on the asset row to select it
