Transfer Building materials' fill attributes to Sections/Elevations and plan

Durval

If I create the parameter "build_mat", of type Building Material, then write this in the 3D Script:

BUILDING_MATERIAL build_mat
BLOCK A, B, ZZYZX
Then create a section passing trough my object, shouldn't I see the block filled with the same fill that is set for the building material?

All I see is an 'air space' fill, no matter what building material I set to the object.

Also, how could I use this same fill in plan, combined with PROJECT2{*} function?

Pull the Fill of your Building Material then insert it into the gs_fill_type parameter?

This should work. Be sure to turn off Floor Plan and Section > Cut Surfaces > Override Object's Attributes, and use Cut Fill in Section Setings > Model Appearance > Cut Elements > Cut Fill.

 

Use REQUEST{2} ("Building_Material_info") to get the fill index.
