when i go to add objects such as toilets , lift, stairs etc. my icons appear with a black fill background.
i have tried to change this in the fill options but it wont change - which is strange.
i have added a pic so that you can all see what im talking about.

if anyone could help that would be great - thanks.

hmm... check your model view options and the object 2D apprearance settings and your pen set...

Check your fill type in: Parameters> "2D Representation"...Air Space works for me.

Is "Enable Object's Pens" checked? : Floor Plan and Section> Symbol
