What is the purpose of "Bring To Front In Performance"

Question

This has probably been asked and answered elsewhere, but I can't find it.

What is the purpose of "Bring To Front In Performance" or "Bring Up (Performance)" and how is it used? I'm sure that it will be something obvious that I'm missing, but I can't seem to get it to do anything.

Comments

No, it hasn't been asked elsewhere: thanks for the question!

Answer 1

Great question.

Bring to Front in Performance is used for controls that are physically on top of one another. The most common example is a knob that is concentrically placed inside another knob, like in this layout:

 

If the outer knobs (both have the label "push") are marked as "Bring to Front in Performance," while they're being touched they will physically cover the smaller, inner knob.

Let us know if this makes sense or if we need to do a short video explaining this better.

That makes perfect sense! And applies to several instances that I have created...thanks for the quick response!

Yes. We do take a lot of suggestions from users, but... when I have a pain point, I know other people will have it. This feature also MIGHT inspire users who have been avoiding layering to layer.

But anyway... glad to hear further suggestions about layering, even if they're hard to implement.

Thank you!
