how to create vectorial fills

[Anonymous]

I want to create my own vectorial fills.
The only way I know how to do this is by modifying existing vectorial fills, and this is very limited.
If I create bitmap fills everything is possible but these make the dwg-files I publish very large.
The GDL manual explains about making your own vectorial fills, but this works only with the object you write the code in.
Is there another way to make vectorial fills?

I use a great number of "define fill" fills. The easiest way to start a new fill is to save the existing archicad fills "as gdl" from the Special menu and then make changes as needed.
If you put your own fills in a folder containing "Master_gdl" and then load the folder along with your libraries it will be in the list along with the native fills.

To create a vectorial fill, in the Help files see:
Documentation > Drafting > Fills > Create or Edit Symbol Fill

To assign a vectorial fill to a material for 3D, in the Help files see:
User Interface Reference > Dialog Boxes > Material Settings Dialog Box > Material Vectorial Hatching Panel

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
