Hide reference dispay under floor

I like to show reference display on my plan layouts so that contractors have a reference to the floor below. However as sen in the attachment, I would like to hide the reference display under the second floor rooms. Have tried a polyline fill, room fill and have yet to find a solution. Any suggestions?

I put my interior and exterior walls on separate layers in the defaults, so I can turn off interior walls on the reference layer and don't show them. I also

draw the reference layer first so the walls cover the reference layer.

Yes,you have option to draw ref floor first or last,  choose first,  now make sure all of your rooms have a fill and turn on the ROOM LAYER in layer set.  

 

I use this all of the time.  

 

What happens is anything on lower floor will be hidden buy the room above that has a fill yet other things on lower floor will show because there is not a room above.

 

You are on the right track.

NOTE:  You may also find the need to uncheck Use XOR drawing sometimes as well. 

I'm also trying to place the reference behind the new plan. Why don't I have that option you red-boxed? I'm on X15. Am I looking at the wrong window?

That's because the original post is over 7 years old and the program has changed a bit since then.  You can now have as many different reference floors as you like.  The draw order is determined by the order in the table.  You can change the order in the table using the "move up" and "move down" buttons.

Thank you, DBCooper! Such an easy fix. I appreciate it.
