Vectorial Hatch in Elevation, AC10

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 13:25:43 GMT

Hi,
I am now new to AC10; our office likes to show roofs as gray.
In AC9, I set the elevation settings to show "Vectorial 3D Hatching", and made the surface material of the roofing have a solid fill vectorial hatching, with a pen designated to the material to show the correct gray.
In AC10, I can't get the roofs to show gray in elevation without selecting "Fill Uncut Surfaces with Element's Own Material Colors"; unfortunately, though, this also makes the wall surface, trim, and so on show in color, whereas I would rather they not.
The attached jpeg shows the look I am after, sans the gray roof.
Does anyone have an idea of what is different?
Thanks,
John

Try using "Marker fill" instead of Solid fill.

I know you can manipulate the fills if you unlink the section, but not keeping them linked.

Marc,
Dynamite. Thanks! How'd you know?
I can't tell what the diff is between the 2.

T & E & M (trial and error and messing) with elevation shadows.

I must be missing something obvious here , but I can't find the "marker fill" even after a new AC 10 template file. Where is it exactly?
Thanks.

Both are fill types, accessed through many avenues.

In this context... it's the vectorial hatching of a material. Go: Options>>Element Attributes>> Materials> see attached.

Strange.. This marker fill doesn't appear here, even after a new AC 10 template file. See the image below.
Anyone also don't have it?

Electric Flute,
This may be because you are using the AC 10 int version.
AC 10 USA and AC 9 USA has this fill.

Thanks for fleshing that out, Marc; I think my response was a little meager. Still, are they different Kinds of fill, somehow? They must be, as they are represented differently. I had prev. thought that they were just two black fills, with different names.

I didn't have it either, and didn't know it. I had merged 10us versions fills with my template file and for whatever reason it didn't come through, so if you are on the US version via a merge.. maybe, maybe not:)

This also works with 100% fill which is available in both INT and US versions. If you really want markerfill though, find it attached as a zipped .aat file for use with Attribute Manager. Be sure to Append it to your project, not Overwrite it!

Cheers,

Thanks link!!

If you zoom into 100% fill, you will see that it is not fully solid.
