You can use SECT_FILL command or better from 10 on SECT_ATTRS. This affects only cutted polygons. To control normal surfaces you have to program it context sensitive by GLOB_CONTEXT. HTH.

thanks that worked fine

i did find, however, that the script did not recognise a fill type that had a space in its naming ie "conc slab", is that the case

might be something that people setting up archicad
may have to consider when naming fills

Where did your spaced named fill did not work? SECT_FILL, SECT_ATTRS?
