Zone/composite vectorial fills

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:54:51 GMT

Hey, hopefully simple question here. Using AC16, current build and I can not get the stippled patterns to display or print. Example: 12 | Carpet pattern on a zone does not display. Example 2: 09 | Gypsum Board pattern does not display or print in my composite walls. How do I get those patterns specifically to display and print? Have on-screen view options set for vectorial patterns to be on already with no change. When I turn it off, the bitmap patterns do show but of course the tile patterns don't display properly because you just have that little preview block is the pattern size.

Also, I am using Construction Documents model view option with New Reno filter. Seems like I have missed a global setting somewhere but I can't figure it out, even after looking at the manual for an hour.

Any ideas? What am I missing??

Check your Renovation Filter Options. You can set the display of Existing, Demo and New elements as you want.

Document>Set Renovation Filter Options>Renovation Filter Options

On the Renovation Override Styles button you can set how you want each of these to appear

Erika,

Thanks but I am not certain that is the issue. Attached I have used Horizontal 4" fill, wood end grain fill, 12x12 grid and structural concrete fills as the cover fill of the zone element and they show. But I used the 12 | Carpet fill on the 056 Zone and it doesn't show. Also, note that the stippling pattern with the concrete fill doesn't show.

I can't reproduce your problem.

erika,

Thanks for trying though. Weird problem. I assume that your patterns show properly so it must be something with my setup. I will see what else I can tweak.

I have the same problem and I think it started when I installed the latest update in AC15. The dots have disappeared. Same thing happens with the linetypes.
