You know, a simple solid polygon with no line weight- I guess this is always a "fill" in ArchiCAD-or am I actually wrong on this too?-can't seem to find another tool that would do this.<BR /> Selecting 100% solid fill&gt; color&gt; 91 white&gt; send to front. The fill dissappears nicely after completed-kinda hard to then find it and grab it but click and drag does select and then place it and all the elements I wish to mask with it show right through- I've tried several different fill types, colors, the different settings on the fill dialog box... I am stumped once again.<BR /> <BR /> This seems so basic I am a bit embarrassed to even be asking this -but here I am.<BR /> <BR /> Thanks for any help and feel free for a little cyber sighing and eye rolling- I can take it. <E><span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:">😉</span></E><BR /> <BR /> Tad<BR /> <BR /> Mac OS 9.<BR /> AC10</R></DIV> Tue, 23 May 2023 13:16:50 GMT Anonymous 2023-05-23T13:16:50Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Unable-to-mask-with-a-fill/m-p/13563#M6408 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><R>I guess this would be another ArchiCAD "duh!" question but at least you can call me consistent.<BR /> <BR /> I am unable to graphically mask a bit of roof that I don't want to show in a section-it is actually behind the cut line.

An Empty Fill is fine for the main hatch pattern.
