How do you control the display order of objects in Revit?

In Revit, controlling the display order of objects is primarily accomplished through the use of the "Bring to Front" and "Send to Back" commands. These options allow users to manage how objects overlap one another in the graphical interface. When an object is brought to the front, it will visually appear on top of other overlapping elements, while sending it to the back pushes it behind other elements.

This functionality is particularly useful in scenarios where elements may intersect or overlap. For instance, if you have a piece of furniture placed in front of a wall, using these commands can help clarify which item should be perceived as the dominant visual layer in that particular arrangement.

Other choices do not provide direct control over the visual stacking order of objects. Adjusting an object’s properties, grouping objects, or layering elements in graphics settings are more related to managing visibility, organization, or graphics display settings rather than affecting the specific order in which objects are rendered on the screen. Hence, using the bringing or sending commands is the most effective and straightforward technique for directly influencing the display order of items in a Revit project.
