Character Artist: Torso/Head Layer?

in Mapping with ProFantasy's Software
I'm using Character Artist for the first time, and running into a consistent problem.
No matter what order I add body parts, the torso always covers the head. I doubt this is how the program should be functioning.

Any suggestions how to overcome this (am I just an idiot missing something obvious)?

    This is a problem in CA3 that has yet to be corrected. Our group knows it well.

    The only solution that we've found is to go in manually and change the sequence of the sheets, which, admittedly, is a pain in the ***.

    Hm, which template are you using to draw the characters? I've just checked "CA3 Standard Portrait.FCT" and it seems to be correct here. If you overwrite the existing one with the one I attached here, does that fix the problem?

    Hallo Ralf!

    I don't remember all of the combinations where this occurs, but with the "CA3 Standard Portrait.FCT" template, try Elf, Female, and then choose one of the heads OTHER THAN "EFH Elf Head 1" with a torso such as "EFT Torso Elf" or "HFT Torso W." On my machine, the torso ends up in front of the head. That occurs because CA3 places all of these heads except "EFH Elf Head 1" on the sheet BACKGROUND rather than the sheet HEAD. Only "EFH Elf Head 1" is set to the sheet HEAD.

    Can't recreate it. Perhaps the setup on the website is out of date? I've attached my version of the Elf Female Heads catalog. If you replace yours (Symbols/CharacterArtist/CA3/BodyParts/) with it, does that fix the issue (in a fresh drawing).

    Interesting!

    Your version works fine. Apparently some corrections have been made since the original CA3 download.
