 Background Map Covers Orthomosaic tif

I'm testing out the photogrammetry modules of TBC 2023.10. After it creates the orthomosic, in plan view if I turn the background maps on, the ortho photo is covered up. I've checked the properties and the ortho is set to View Priority 1 0% transparency. The only way I can get it to show with background on is to adjust the transparency of the background so that the ortho shows through. I want it to show on top of the background. The type of background (street/satellite/terrain) doesn't matter.  Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong.

Thanks Scott. I will check on our next development group meeting and see which group can check on this.

Hi Scott, we discussed it this group and will need to make changes in the next fixes. So at moment, it is a bug and you are not doing anything wrong, but for the future we would love to have by default the orthophoto have a stronger View Priority as the Background Maop, as (hopefully) your data is newer and with higher resolution than the Background Map :-)

Thank you for your feedback!

Yea...I have noticed this behavior since 2023 versions. No matter how you try to reorder the layering, I cannot seem to get any ortho tif files to show up on top of the Trimble Maps. It's bizarre.
