I decided to use DeltaCad to document the winterization of my pool. This involves using plastic sheeting and water bags to cover the deck and the pool. There are eight components that I have rendered on eight layers. One contains the basic pool and deck outlines (black on white). Six are segments of the deck with filled portions in color. One is the pool cover filled with a different color.
When I rendered the Pool cover while everything was displayed, I achieved the effect that I wanted. The basic pool and deck appeared with the deck covers visually overlaying the basic pool and the pool cover overlaying all of them and everything visible. Explicitly the pool cover's colored area where it overlapped the deck covers occluded the deck covers. I was a happy camper.
Then "What did I do?" I turned some layers on and off to do some other work. I tried to go back to my "happy camper days". I could not get there. The pool cover was always occluded by the deck covers.
I read another post re a box and its cover that implied that the fill colors were important. This may be the key to my problem in that if I choose the proper colors my problem may be fixed. But what color sequence is required?
Anyone have an answer?
The attachments to this post show the basic pool, one deck cover, the pool cover and all three on at the same time.
