For me it works with all border points properly closed into a polygon. If the area is without intersecting elements, then a "space" (magic wand) -click with the fill tool selected does the job. If you have other elements intersecting the polygon then you should have the border elements selected while magic wand-clicking in/or on the border.
But the fill shape is not a complete match, as Archicad seems to converts the spline into arc segments.
