Fill - Composites Problem, real problem!

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 13:55:53 GMT

i think im missing sth. i insert walls in my project with a standard fill or composite, or i insert a simple fill from the fill tool.

in my screen the fill scale changes when i change the zoom
the worst is that when i print them not only i cannot choose the hatch scale (like autocad for example) but also they appear all black (the hatch scale is too small , to dense.)
i dont know what to do
i tried the attribute settings fills and put it in scale independent or scale with plan it doesnt make any difference
can anyone help?

thanks in advance

You may need to adjust the spacing of your fills, but this seems a bit odd since the standards fills should work just fine out of the box. This is done in the fill settings dialog.

The scale dependence or independence will not change the appearance of a fill at it's neutral/native scale (the one it is set at). It only becomes apparent when the scale changes.

The problem may also be the pen settings. A heavy pen can make a dense fill solid.

Under 'Display Option' set all fills to 'Vectorial Hatching'. You have to do this both in Archicad and in Plotmaker.

my pens are quite right. i hope that with the vectorial hatch will work.

thanks a lot for your time.
