Make overlapping display order visible in Archicad.

DisplayStack brings display order and intersection information into one palette, helping you understand overlapping elements and reorganize them with confidence.

Display order and intersection information

See how elements overlap and connect while managing their display order.

01

See the stack clearly

Review the colour-coded display stack and drawing sequence of selected elements in a frontmost-first list.

02

Inspect intersection information

See Building Material Priority, Layer Intersection Group and the Junction Order of Walls and Beams alongside each applicable element.

03

Highlight the model

Colour-code elements by stack in the Floor Plan or 3D view, with light and dark colour sets for the palette and model highlights.

04

Move elements in bulk

Move multiple selected elements directly to any display stack while working in the Floor Plan or 3D view.

05

Follow the selection live

Use Live mode to follow the current Archicad selection and keep the displayed element information synchronized.

Live and manual workflows

Display order is easy to change one stack at a time, but it can be difficult to understand how multiple overlapping elements are currently stacked.

Alongside Stack and Sequence, DisplayStack shows Building Material Priority, Layer Intersection Group and Junction Order, bringing useful display and intersection information together in one compact view.

Live mode follows the current Archicad selection. Manual mode builds a custom working list from multiple selections and lets you move selected elements to another display stack - even while identifying them in 3D.

Available for Archicad 26-29 on Windows and macOS.
