Problem with fills

Anonymous — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 22:38:50 GMT

Hi.. Does someone know if this is a bug in archicad or am I missing something? As you may see the color of the fill is not corresponding to the fill's settings .. I have a solid fill with both channels set to white, but after I make the fill, it turns out a bit grey I think I have changed something somewhere but I don't know what. This happened with all the white fills in all my projects. (i haven't noticed any difference with the fills of other colors)

try this:

in the fill's dialog box, check what type of fill it is (drafting, cut or cover), then go to Document>Set Model View>Model View Options and to the "Overide Fill Displays" tab to see the options for that type of fill; these are saved with view sets, and you may have inadvertantly saved a view with an overide setting.

Take a look at Work Environment > User Preference Schemes > On-Screen Options > Automatic Pen Color Visibility Adjustment for Model Views.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
