Larger than expected Z-Depth adjustment
« on: September 24, 2013, 09:52:36 AM »
Hello.

Has anyone ever experiences having to adjust the Zdepth of an item by a much larger than expected value to make it appear. I am aware that you need to adjust the zdepth when dealing with items from different atlases and my experience has been this only every seems to need a small adjustment of -1 to -5 to make the items appear correctly.

I have a button on a 3d plane which is the exception to this rule. The label needs to sit at -57 no more and no less or it wont appear. As you can imagine as this is on a 3D plane the offset becomes very noticeable and the label is no longer visually aligned correctly to the button. This would not be a massive issue if I was just catering to a single aspect ration as I could just adjust the XY position to make it appear in the correct position. Sadly its for a mobile application and as such when the aspect ratio changes the label moves all over the place.

Has anyone every had a similar issue with needing such a large Zdepth adjustment?

Many thanks for the help in advance.

Tilt the window to show the position of the objects. Chances are you have something offset.

And upgrade to 3.0 to have this no longer be an issue altogether.
