Some parts(anims) of building draws trough building in front of it. I've tried change Layer in Art.ini or tag Surface but it wont help. Can someone explain?
Its like building which in front dont has its back side

Use ZAdjust values, see GAWEAP for example...

Experiment until you find a setting that works.

It worked, but i cant do same with UnderDoorAnim, didnt work...
it keeps drawing units and builds on top of it.

Im using resized Mech Factory by Lin Kuei Ominae but in RA2 with custom foundation 4x3

That's what UnderDoorAnim is there for and how it should work.

UnderDoorAnim for the building parts that need to be rendered below the built unit
DeployingAnim for the building parts to render above the unit.

Am I right that you're trying to make landing pads up in the air?

Also are you using a bib on the building?

It's hard to know exactly what's going on in the pics without knowing how you've constructed it.

That's a bug that i couldn't fix.
I only found out about the issue when the building was finished, that due to its height, there are parts which would need to be rendered behind but also in front of units. Which is impossible.

The back wall (facing northeast) would need to be rendered behind the leaving unit, but in front of units standing behind the building.
There aren't enough render layers to do that.

Sad... But it works well in TS...
So there's no way to fix this right?

No i dont making pads in air , and yes it has bib.
Problem is that UnderDoorAnim transparent units and buildings that behind it.

It has the same issue in TS.

You could try the following:
-cut out the problematic wall into a separate SHP
-apply that to the building as an ActiveAnim and use ActiveAnimX and Y to set this anim on a point/cell behind the leaving unit, but in front of any objects behind the building (basically to one of the cells on the northeast row of cells of the building)

with a bit luck the game is then able to sort each object into the right render layer, since it then knows where to place and sort that back wall.

Then you have to find a way to make that ActiveAnim be rendered by default under the normal building (but above the UnderDoorAnim when a unit is build). Because that wall is showing the interior and it wouldn't look right when the ActiveAnim plays above the normal building.

So i did this...I paste it into DeployingAnim But i think top parts of tall units will disappear anyway also part of the door disappear too

P.s. I have tried your way but for unknown reason i cant calibrate "this wall" position
