Can you upload a picture of what you want to do and a screenshot of your settings? 

[Barry Kelly]

What are you trying to add the cover fill to - what did you create the 3D buildings from?

The 'Vectorial Fill' is now called 'True Fill Appearance'.

this is what i currently have as a cover fill option. 

this is what i want to have, so that I can add hatches to my 3d objects in plans and sections. 

[Barry Kelly]

Have a look at your fill settings and see if all the fills you want have got the 'Cover Fill' option set.

created the building from walls and slabs and basically just need to show basic hatches like brick for walls and concrete grounds

[keily]

this is what mine looks like 😞

[Barry Kelly]

Yes, that is good for the 'Foreground' fill.

That is why you can see it in the cover fill options.

Check the settings of all the other fills that you can't see as cover fills - i.e. the 'Asphalt' fill that doesn't show in the cover fill list.

how do i find these other cover fills?

[Barry Kelly]

Is there something wrong with your setup?

I don't have a Mac so can't compare.

But shouldn't there be those coloured dots in the fill settings window?

You should be able to see ALL fill there.

Is your Archicad version up to date with the latest build?

You didn't say what version you are using.

Also is that version compatible with you Mac OS version.

Old Archicad version may not work with new Mac OS and New Archicad version may not work with old Mac OS.

What Archicad are you using and what Mac OS?

Barry.
