Fills

[Anonymous]

My solid colored fills in my floor plan have mysteriously become transparent.

I have experimented with changing the model view options, but it's not working so far.

Suggestions greatly appreciated.

I have experienced BACKGROUND FILLS that won't layer properly--that is, it will not recede when I change the DISPLAY ORDER for an overlapping element a la BRING TO FRONT. Don't mean to confuse the issue here, but just saying there may be more than one bug associated with BACKGROUND FILLS. Sorry I can't help.

One thing worth mentioning, It does not show in the layout book. Which is good, but why, why, why!!!

Strange you know....it's only when I set the background fill color to white that the fill shows grey, and yet when I select any other color (brown,black,red,etc) it is shown correctly.

It makes no logical sense whatsoever, this is why I suspect it is a bug.

If your window background color is white, that sounds to me like the never-enough-celebrated 'Automatic Pen Color Visibility Adjustment for Model Views' setting hidden in Work Environment, User Preference Schemes, More Options. That should be unchecked.

Briliant Ignacio!

That was it. What a strange little obscure option.

Thanks you so much.

It's no so strange. It's the only way you'll ever see a white fill on a white window background, and be able to distinguish between a white and an empty fill. It doesn't print and doesn't get in the way. I prefer to have it on!

Of course this is only a problem for those who still use a white background! Everybody knows that beige is the way to go!

With sepia line work and Leonardo font.
