Circle with Fill

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Is there a reasonable way of explaining why a circle cannot have a DIRECT fill in Archicad? Thanks.

Another approach on PLAN would be to use the column tool and if you need it in 2D then explode it.

You can also make donuts with one click using this method which takes even longer using the polygon tool.

I agree it would be handy to have a "circle" with variants option available in the FILL and SLAB toolboxes. Wish list...

If you know the center of the circle and the radius (let's say 1000 mm), then move your cursor to the center point, type "X1000+" to input the point on the circumference, then use the Pet Palette method shown in the video to create the Circle shaped fill.

This is, of course, a strange way of drawing a circle.
Mankind has been drawing circles for ages from its middle point.
This options is missing in de pett pallete.

Dontknow,

Did you read earlier posts in the thread?
This post was specifically an answer to Barry's post.

Don't understand what the problem is here?
Barry posted after you and you were referring to my video.

I think we are talking about two different things.
I think you are making a wish for the Fill Tool, while I am giving solutions for the existing state of the Fill Tool.

But yes, there could be more options for the Fill Tool. Actually, the Fill Tool could have all the geometry methods that any of the linear tools (Line, Arc/Circle/Ellipse, Spline) have, with the added bonus that a Fill is generated within the closed boundary.
You can make a wish, so people can vote for it and we can submit it for Graphisoft's consideration.

Ah, oke.
It was more a suggestion then a wish.

[Laszlo Nagy]

But I am encouraging you to make a wish, there is a lot of stuff that can be improved upon. And when a wish is submitted and people give it high votes and support Graphisoft knows that many of its users would find it useful, which make it more probably that it will be implemented in the future.

[Dontknow]

Oke, I'll make a wish then.
Will be my first wish.

[DGSketcher]

Dontknow, you should vote as well
