Composite Wall Fills to scale correctly in plan

Anonymous — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 18:34:31 GMT

Hello everyone,
I have a problem to show correctly a fill on my composite walls (AC8.1) in plan view. I have placed Batt Insulation on one of them, nothing fancy, but when it is placed on the drawing it stays as shown on the fill and does not scale to show correctly.

I have in a way worked around the problem by creating a linetype but this defeats the purpose for creating the composite on the first place... any thoughts you would like to share with me to overcome this issue.

Thanks,

Ricardo

assuming you mean the classic loopy circular batt insulation, I'm afraid Archicad's vectorial fills don't scale inside walls that way. They will repeat, but not let you use the same fills for, say, both 3 1/2" and 5 1/2"
