as the attachment the 3d wall is filled with white brick.
but in the 2d elevation , it only show the hatching.
i hope to have the same fill in both 2d and 3d
however,i've tried to draw the block of image to cover it, then the image block cover the shadow too. i don't want to draw the shadow again and it is not accurate too.
what can i do?

In the video, you can see in the navigator on the right that they are working on a worksheet, which is 2d only.
They have created it simply by copying and pasting a normal elevation, and editing all the fills manually.
An effective workaround tip, keeping everything live, is to -
- Switch to a side view - parallel projection in the openGL 3d window. Save it as a view. (Textures are visible in the 3d window, so ensure the model represents what you require, texture-wise.)
- Set up an elevation as normal, and change the settings to 'fill uncut surfaces' with 'Nothing' and turn on 'Vectorial Sun Shadows'
- On a layout bring in both the line elevation, and the view of the 3d window.
- Overlay the 3d window view so it is inline with the elevation, and resize it to suit. Send it to the back.
- Both the views will automatically update if something is edited, but everything will stay in line, shadows-and-all - Magic!
Hope that helps!
but i don't know how can i resize to suit them perfectly.
the scale are both in 1:100, but i dunno the 3d is a bit bigger than the elevation.
why?

Beeep! Wrong!
The 3D window IS to scale. The problem is in copying the contents as a bitmap - that has to be resized properly.
Beep to you too!Only the internal engine powered 3d window is to scale. The openGL 3d window view behaves as I describe!
The internal Engine doesn't display textures though, so it isn't suitable for the job.
If you do know of a better method, please let us know!
Still looking?
