Can you upload a picture of what you want to do and a screenshot of your settings?

What are you trying to add the cover fill to - what did you create the 3D buildings from?

The 'Vectorial Fill' is now called 'True Fill Appearance'.

Have a look at your fill settings and see if all the fills you want have got the 'Cover Fill' option set.

Yes, that is good for the 'Foreground' fill.

That is why you can see it in the cover fill options.

Check the settings of all the other fills that you can't see as cover fills - i.e. the 'Asphalt' fill that doesn't show in the cover fill list.

Is there something wrong with your setup?

I don't have a Mac so can't compare.

But shouldn't there be those coloured dots in the fill settings window?

You should be able to see ALL fill there.

Is your Archicad version up to date with the latest build?

You didn't say what version you are using.

Also is that version compatible with you Mac OS version.

Old Archicad version may not work with new Mac OS and New Archicad version may not work with old Mac OS.

What Archicad are you using and what Mac OS?

From your first picture it seems that you have deleted all the fills from the fill library. It only shows 9 fills

Try to open a new Archicad file with default settings and copy the fill you want unless you know how to use the attributes and copy all the fills from the new file to the one you are working.

Or if you just started, open a new file instead of using an old one.

Logo on the OPs second image is AC19, though given the university logo, why are they using such an outdated version...?

Edit: the AC19 image is on Windows? @keily , does your file actually have those fills?

Options => Element Attributes => Fills

The fills will need to actually be loaded into your file. The ones shown in the AC19 image look to be the standard ones found in the included template, so if they are not actually in your file, you can use the Attribute Manager to import them.
