ELEVATION: cover fills aren't displayed in AC21

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 01:06:32 GMT

Since we switched to AC21, the cover fills of the materials don't show up in elevations. When I check the shadow to be turned on the elevation settings the shadows don't show, except when I click on the object, I see a shadow outline highlighted.

I checked Model View, Vectoral hatching, cover fills for the objects, surface paint brush, I'm not sure how to trouble shoot this. Any body else have any issues with this?

thanks,

Having the same issue. Checked Pen Set, MVO, Graphic Overrides, relinked the drawing, placed a drawing, closed and restarted program and computer, nothing.

edit: Mines actually a cover fill I placed over a portion of a wall in the elevation view. View shows fine, but once on the layout they don't show.

iMac OS Sierra 10.12.6
AC 21

I think you're one step ahead of me if your view shows fine... because I can't get the cover fills or surface materials to show on the views of the elevations at all.

I emailed tech support but they just responded to check the model view options and make sure the graphic overide is not checked. I think this might be a glitch... I'm interested to know if ANYONE was able to have cover fills or surface fills show up in elevation...

I wouldn't want to make a 2d fill over my walls and roof... but that's the only 'fix' I can think of.

I guess when you guys say "Cover Fill" you mean the Vectorial Hatching of the Surface of the element? Cover Fill is a term that applies only to a few element types (Slab, Roof, Shell, Morph, Mesh, Zone) and applies only to the Floor Plan Viewpoint. Cover Fill also applies to Fills, so yes, a Fill with the "Cover Fill" type can be placed in Elevations as well.

Is it possible that the Surface of the side of your element is overridden with another Surface that does not have Vectorial Hatching?
