Material fill in plan

[Anonymous]

I'm pretty sure that I must be missing something fairly simple/obvious but google searches aren't helping.

How do I set and show a material fill for various elements in plan?

E.g. I have a grass material for a slab, which shows green in 3D and I'd like it to show green in plan.

I can individually set the colour of slabs but I'd like it controlled by the material

Set a cover fill. It works for slabs, meshes, roofs, morphs, shells.
Or you can manually draw a fill on the element.

Thanks for your reply but I want to control it via the material i.e. everything in plan with a certain material (and no overrides) has a certain appearance.

Ok ...
so in the surfaces you have to set the fill and activate the fill by surface in the settings of the element

Thanks alemanda but I'm still struggling!

I created a material, with 'paving Asphalt dark' for the surface but it shows up as blue/purple in plan!

Ok. I attach the screen shot ... it's in Italian but I think you can get the info you need ...

it's right.
be sure that in MVO (Model View Options) the cover fills are not override
