I know there was a "trick" to make a new empty fill and call it something else but I can't seem to find the explanation.
Thanks for any help,
Michele

This works for me:
1. Place a Fill on the Floor Plan, assign Empty Fill to it.
2. Slect it, copy to Clipboard.
3. Go to Fill Types, rename Empty Fill to Empty Fill-2 or something. OK Dialog.
4. Paste Fill. The referenced Fill type (Empty Fill) will be created among the Fills and now you have two Empty Fills.
If you had not renamed your fill type before, no new fill type would have been created because the program would have found the Fill type it referenced by name.

Just keep in mind that you won't be able to delete this fill. Not in the Fill Types dialog or even in Attribute Manager.

this maintains the "Empty Fill" with an internal ID of 65. once this has been done you can create as many 'empty' fills as you want from the duplicate you've now got. any of these can be deleted.
