Objects on base layer not visible from other layers
Jan 05, 2018
Hello, everyone!
Just thought I'd share an interesting feature. (This may have been fixed in a recent update, but because I'm not an Admin, I have to call the Help Desk every time I want to update, which is a nuisance, so I don't do it as regularly as I might - current version for me is v3.9.13567.0)
I have had a problem viewing my base layer from other layers, in that some base layer objects were visible and others not. By a process of elimination, it turned out that the 'missing' objects were always images, but they were only invisible from other layers if they were placed on top of a background shape. If they had no other shape behind them, they were visible!
Anyway - just thought I'd save maybe one person from scratching their head as I have been over the past day :-)
I've attached a couple of screenshots - one of the base layer, one of the view from layer 1 - to illustrate the situation.
Happy 2018!
Martin

Hey Martin, thanks for bringing this to our attention! I'm on the latest update of Storyline 360, and I'm seeing the same problem you're seeing.
I'll let my team know what's going on so we can begin looking at next steps. If it turns out this isn't a bug, I'll let you know!
Hi there, Martin! We fixed the issue you reported where an image on a base layer would be hidden on the slide layer if the image was on top of a background object.
Here's how you can update Storyline 360 to see all the latest features and fixes. If this problem resurfaces, please record a Peek 360 screencast for me, and I'll be happy to help!
