Two Questions about City Desginer

Ok the first is a simpler yet annoying one i cant quite figure out. as i am running into an issue where i cant place structures such as towers on walls. i have tried everything i could think of. such as messing with the layors and sheets. hell i even tried putting the symbol down on the same layer. and it wall is still always on top. and just a note the option front layer only is turned off. So i don't have a clue what could be causing this issue.
the next is a minor issue with the stone texture. for some reason their is this strange white outline around it. even thou i have outlines turned off it still appears. and while it is more or less a minor annoyance compared to the wall issue. i was hoping their was a way to get rid of it so my plaza don't have a weird tiny line in it.
note hears a few images of what i am running into.

Sheets determinewhat sgows up when.
Sheet list example:
Sea
Land
Symbols
Text
The Sea is drawn, then land is drawn, then symbols drawn, and text is drawn last putting it on top of everything else. Even though text is at the bottom of the list.
edit: I couldn't get the drawings to go larger for some reason, so I couldn't see details.
First of all the walls are drawn on not unlike roads. and how they are attached to the map is not the issue. the issue is i cannot place symbols on the walls them self. as the wall always is on top of the symbol making it impossible to place towers on the walls.
ps, regardless of what sheet or layer the symbol is on. the wall is always on top for some reason. even if the symbol is on the same sheet and layer as the wall itself.
If you do have the update installed, perhaps you can post the .fcw map file here so that we can take a closer look at what might be happening.
and looks like if figured out the issue. for some reason the layers set walls to be the top layer. i have no idea why this would be a thing. but it seems to fix the issue.

the first is the textures for the wall and background are kinda missing. i have no idea what is causing this.
the next is for some reason their is a red outline on my wall. i don't know what exactly is going on with this texture that forces it to have a border.
The same question applies to the missing wall textures. Do things return when turning off the effects?
If yes, then check the effect settings on the sheet those entities are on. It might be an edge fade with too great a width. If not, check the sheet order. Could the sheet with the wall elements somehow have ended up behind your BACKGROUND sheet. If you used the standard city wall tool, it divides the entities for the wall on two different sheets (WALLS and WALLS TOP), which both need to be arranged properly in the drawing order.
next seems to be an issue with the texture itself. as i was using the texture called stone. this texture seems to be the only one suffering from the issue. so i changed it to stone bitmap and it works now. That said the Stone Texture is suffering from an issue where if you zoom in on its location it everything but its outline vanishes.
that said it seems to not be a sheets issue or anything like that. more like an issue with the texture itself.
