Fills, like most attributes, are part of the PLN (e.g.) file, and not part of ArchiCAD itself.

So... what file do you have open with only 20 fills? Is it the 'new from template'? Or?

This is a new file I just worked on for a couple of days.
I forgot if I am using AC residential template or not.(that's what I normally use)
How do I get out of whatever template I am using and get the right one without trashing what I've done?

You have 2 choices.
You can copy & paste what you have modelled so far into a new template file that has all the attributes you want.
You may need to set up the views and layout pages again depending on how far you have got with your model.

Or you can use the Attribute Manager to bring some or all of the attribute from another file so you have what you want.
This is probably the best way as you will retain all views, layouts and publisher sets that you have already set up.

I managed to use Attribute Manager to copy the fills from another file.
Thanks.
