Vectorial Hatch in Elevation, AC10

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I am now new to AC10; our office likes to show roofs as gray.
In AC9, I set the elevation settings to show "Vectorial 3D Hatching", and made the surface material of the roofing have a solid fill vectorial hatching, with a pen designated to the material to show the correct gray.
In AC10, I can't get the roofs to show gray in elevation without selecting "Fill Uncut Surfaces with Element's Own Material Colors"; unfortunately, though, this also makes the wall surface, trim, and so on show in color, whereas I would rather they not.
The attached jpeg shows the look I am after, sans the gray roof.
Does anyone have an idea of what is different?
Thanks,
John

Thanks for fleshing that out, Marc; I think my response was a little meager. Still, are they different Kinds of fill, somehow? They must be, as they are represented differently. I had prev. thought that they were just two black fills, with different names.

This may be because you are using the AC 10 int version.
AC 10 USA and AC 9 USA has this fill.

I didn't have it either, and didn't know it. I had merged 10us versions fills with my template file and for whatever reason it didn't come through, so if you are on the US version via a merge.. maybe, maybe not:)

This also works with 100% fill which is available in both INT and US versions. If you really want markerfill though, find it attached as a zipped .aat file for use with Attribute Manager. Be sure to Append it to your project, not Overwrite it!

Thanks link!!

If you zoom into 100% fill, you will see that it is not fully solid.
