Grid Lines in Solid Hatches ?!?!?!?!??!?!!?

Anonymous — Thu, 09 Feb 2017 15:01:32 GMT

I finally made an account for this forum because an Archicad feature has been ruining my day. This particular grievance pushed me over the edge.

Currently using Archicad 19. Noticed that a new(er) feature in this version is that [solid] fills are displayed on screen with a *grid* (wtf?!) pattern overlaid. In other words, I make a solid fill (25%) and when I look at it on my screen it has grid lines running through it. It doesn't print like this, it just shows up on the screen.

I know somebody probably added this feature with a flawed notion that it would help users.

Can somebody explain how to get rid of this garbage? I've had my principals hovering over my shoulder all day, commenting on an elevation, and they keep confusing these display features with actual joint placement. I am catching hell for something I can't control. Sometimes when I'm drafting I confuse these with real lines as well.

If there is no way to get rid of this feature, please direct me to the programmer who added it so I can strangle them.

Must be a Mac bug. I have no problem with it using a PC.
If you indicate the operating system in your signature it will help people understand your questions and comments better.

Simple solution. Use a different fill.

He can use the fill the problem is when the background pen is set to transparent. Changing that pen to another fixes it

I have received info from GRAPHISOFT that this is a known bug to them and it is already in their bug database. The bug occurs only on Mac, so the Windows version is not affected. The grid in the fill is an on-screen only phenomenon so you will not see it when the fill is printed.
