background filling on 2d full view of a window or door

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:43:36 GMT

How do I put a background color on a 2d view of a window or door. When I make a simple code with lines it looks transparent on plan. If I use a fill at the GDL, it makes the side lines of the window look too thin.
Thanks.

Try narrowing the fill polygon so that the wall contour line shows
it's true thickness.

What's is your code in GDL to do the background? Can't I send the Background fill under the wall lines? How do I do it?
Thanks

Parameters:

frw is frame width
jd is frame depth
itrd is interior trim depth
etrd is exterior trim depth

A is nominal door width and the opening
must be drawn to outside of frame.
Hence opening width is A+2*frw

fill "Empty Fill"
poly2 4,6,
-a/2-frw,-jd-itrd,
a/2+frw,-jd-itrd,
a/2+frw,etrd,
-a/2-frw,etrd
