Hi Chris,

re:

I must be missing something here. When I load a model color-shaded plan
view (i.e. wind speeds), the shading covers the background map borders
no matter whether I click "bring to front" on the maps. Is there any way
to make it so that the borders can be seen OVER the shading?

You need to raise the level at which the background maps are being
plotted so they are above the color-shaded plan view:

Dashboard -> Displays tab -> Default Background Maps

Click on the Settings tab and play with the Map Position: either
by moving the slider or typing in a new vertical position in the
entry on the right hand side (followed by pressing the Enter key).

Cheers,

Tom
