Objects are not layering properly

[Salyx]

I am working on a repeat pattern utilizing the symbols capability. However, there is an object that is not syncing up properly and no matter what I try, it will not go all the way back or even underneath the symbol that it is crossing over. I am not sure what to do because I've tried sending to the back the initial object on Artboard 1. That did not work. I re-layered the objects so that the selected curve (and its whole group) are underneath the object I want on top, but that does nothing. I have no idea what I am missing or doing incorrectly. Not sure how to fix this. Included is a screen shot of what is happening. I wasn't able to find any FAQ topics that answered or mentioned my question.

In the screenshot the object selected is the one I want on top. The vine crossing over it is definitely included in the group that is below that object. I have checked every section, grouping, and layer of each Artboard and every occurrence of that repeating vine. All the other occurrences of that vine are behaving as desired. Not sure what is happening with the top half of the repeat on the right.

Hopefully it's an easy fix and that I am simply clueless.

Probably best if you upload the Affinity Designer document to the forum

Looks like the green line is not clipped at the edges of the symbol.

Suggest to use a rectangle of the pixel-exact size as top level in the symbol, and nest all other layers to get them clipped

using navigator panel and xray mode may help.

for example, see

Select the Vine (curve) that is crossing over the leaf and delete it

Okay. Done. It does leave a gap in the upper right corner of the repeat, though, as it also deletes the one from the top right corner of Artboard 1. What am I doing incorrectly?

What NotMyFault posted above should fix it. The vines are extend beyond the canvas of Artboard 1, so when the symbol is duplicated to Artboard 2, those vines overlap because the canvas is larger. There is already a rectangle in Artboard 1 the exact size of the canvas. If you take the groups above the rectangle and clip them inside of the rectangle, it will prevent the shapes from overlapping, and get rid of the vine obstructing the leaf. I’ve had this same issue & it’s definitely frustrating, hope that helps!

Perfect! Thank you so much guys. I feel silly for not seeing that solution. I appreciate all of your patience.

Thank you SO much for this. I would never have worked it out on my own and it was driving me mad!
