Under Layer Direction select Bottom Up if it is not already set to that. Click Save and return to the Main Page. You can change this back to the original setting later if desired. Panel panelIconId 1f9d9-200d-2640-fe0f panelIcon :woman_mage: panelIconText 🧙‍♀️ bgColor #FFEBE6 Layer Direction: Bottom Up is the preferred direction. When you Offset an object to create another layer, that new layer will be the Top layer. Layer Direction: Top Down is not recommended.
