Cannot get Cover Fill to apply

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 12:23:21 GMT

Using the Profile Manager, I have created a shape to be used as a 1/2" thick plywood wall to be attached to the face of some roof trusses as fire blocking. A cover has been applied to the fill when the shape is open in the profile manager and looks as I wish. However, for some reason I cannot get the cover fill to show when the wall is created and cannot think of what I have missed - see image (too many very late nights on the project). Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

According to the help center cover fills can be applied to Slabs, Meshes, Roofs, Shells, Morphs and Zones.

Try adding the fill to a surface material in the surface settings.
Then override the edge material of your wall with that surface.
Make sure you have vectorial fill enabled in your elevation settings and you should see what you want.
You won't see this fill in 3D - only elevations.

The fill you use in the profile manager is what you will see in plan or section.
