Hello,
I have used a cube object as a small cabinet in one of my drawings. I have set the fill to diagonal lines, but it is not appearing on my plans. I am not sure what I am missing here. Any help would be appreciated.
I have included a screen shot. The preview window is showing how I would like it to appear, but it is just appearing as a white box when I place it into the drawing.
Operating system used: Windows 11
Solved! Go to Solution.

Yes that will be it.
You can choose "No Overrides" for your Graphic Overrides.
Otherwise if you do need that override for other elements, then you need to add some criteria that will exclude your object.

Probably a Graphic Override or Renovation Filter active that is overriding the fill.
Oddly it will still show the correct fill in the object preview, it will not be overridden there.

Check the scale of your project. Could be that the hatching is scaled in the view.

Hmmm, where do I even get started with that? I am pretty unfamiliar with the graphic override rules etc.
In my screenshot is the problem that all cover fills are set to transparent?

Thanks for the reply, I checked the scale and that doesn't seem to be the problem.

Thank you! I added criteria for the cabinet in the graphic overrides and that did the trick.
