CUSTOM BLOCKWORK FILL

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 13:22:17 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to create a new fill that shows 190x390mm concrete blocks with 10mm grouting. I see there is a fill for a 200x400mm block but I need the double lines to show the grouting between the blocks. I have looked in Options>Element Attributes>Fill Types and tried to create a new fill. But I'm not sure how you would go about creating the double lines to reflect the grouting etc.

Place a Hotspot 10mm above and to the right of your 390x190 lines. Select lines AND hotspot, and paste into your symbol fill

or play with the "Strokes" parameters (x1, Y2)

Hi again. Thanks for the replies. I've found it easy enough to create a fill for a stack bond with the concrete blocks (including showing the grouting), but I need the fill to show a stretcher bond (overlapping half blocks). Ive tried to draw this with hotspots etc but I cant quite figure it out. Any ideas? Regards

Never mind, I figured it out with jus using the strokes parameters. Easy enough.
