wall fill

[Anonymous]

how could i do the fill is 45 degree to the wall

Select (or create) a fill with 45 degree lines.

See help file if you need more info on creating fills.

sorry i am not clear myself.
I mean when i draw a wall, if i choose the brick fill, then the fill is automatically fill the wall, if i draw the hozontal wall, the fill is 45 degree, but if i draw 45 degree wall, then the will is parallel the wall. i want it still 45 degree to the wall with this brick fil

Hello EY

You can do that with the composite wall. In this menu you can create a wall with always the same orientation compared to the wall —with non fill continuity at the intersection…—.

You must create as many composite walls thicknesses of walls.

Hope this helps

I am trying to master the use of composite walls and having the fill orientation change with wall angle in the plan. I see that there is an "orientation" option in the settings box for the composite structure, but I can't seem to get it to take effect. I have tried both symbol fills and vectorial fills. Is there an over-riding control hidden elsewhere that is keeping this orientation from happening?

A screen shot would help, but start by making sure View> On-screen View Options> Vectorial Hatching is turned on.

I checked and Vectorial Hatching is checked (on). Attached is picture of my floor plan experiment, where hatching does NOT follow orientation of wall. I also post my Composite Structres settings box. B believe this particular diagonal-line wall fill is a vectorial fill.

Here is Composite Structure settings box, showing orientation checked (I think) correctly.

First thing is that the orientation needs to be set for each skin of the composite. It doesn't apply to the composite as a whole.

Secondly, I would check your Wood symbol fill, as the pattern still displays the default (New) Symbol Fill. Also make sure it is ~still~ assigned as a Cut Fill.

Assuming the wall does in fact use that exact composite, I am not quite sure why it shows differently on plan as it does in the composite dialog.

"First thing is that the orientation needs to be set for each skin of the composite. It doesn't apply to the composite as a whole." - That was the ticket! Thanks, Link.
