Fills not available for fill tool unless cut fill is checked

Anonymous — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 21:57:45 GMT

Lately I have noticed that I do not have access to all of my fills with the fill tool. After looking at this a little more carefully, I noticed that fills that were not tagged as "cut fills" in the fill type dialog box were being excluded from my list of fills in the fill tool. This seems like odd behavior and I was curious if others have noticed this abnormality. Has anyone reported this as a bug to Graphisoft?

Would this be dependent on what your Model View Options are set to display?

My understanding is the fills that are avaliable for use with the fill tool will depend on the category of the fill under the Advanced Settings tab in the fill setting dialog.

In your case, in the fill settings dialog was the fill category set to cut fill?

Yes, this is actually a feature, so that we can have more control over the fills with Model View Options and DWG-DXF translations.

Cheers,

Thanks for the feedback. I am not sure how that was switched, but it was clearly the issue.
