AC 28 Skylight Roof cut fill default can't be changed

Brad Elliott

I have a project that has been brought up from AC 26. I have added a skylight to the roof and am getting a brick pattern in the roof cut. I have tried various materials as well a basic and composite structures but still have the same pattern.

If I turn the lining off it shows up clearly in he 3d model which I have attached. I tried turning the lining on as a work around and it covers in the 3d view but the brick pattern still shows up in sections and elevations.

 

How do I change or hide this pattern?

'General' surface is a default surface with index number 0 (zero).

As far as I know you can not edit is at all, it is just there as default.

It seems to use a solid fill with the uncut pen colour as the hatch pen colour, or it could be an empty fill with that pen as the background.

It has not texture, so I am not sure why you are seeing brick.

 

When I open my template in 28 I see something I have not noticed before.

The fill is a question mark, but is still works as it did in previous versions.

It is the same in the default Graphisoft template (AUS version) so I am assuming that it is deliberately like that.
