As always with object graphics, there are about 15 ways
to skin the cat. :-)

Yup, not enough clues. But here are some things to try.
1) You can change the drawing order by changing the order the graphic
objects are inserted into the grModel. Or use the grContainer methods to
move objects around in the model.
2) Check out the DEPTH_OFFSET property that is available in most graphic
objects.
3) You can use the ZCOORD_CONV property to shift things around in Z as
well.

The simple answer is "reverse the order in which you
draw them", but I'm not at all certain this applies in
this case. You give us far too few clues to help much. :-(
