Fills in Archicad. How to do this?!

[Anonymous]

How can I have fills that are placed inside wall layers, are automaticly alinged with endlines, can create custom fills and apply them to any layer

so clever!

Yes it is, and you could post more clever comments that would help others and not waste their time with stupid comments like yours:)
So if you can help, please do so, otherwise dont post here couse I dont want this thread to turn into something not helpfull for me and others users.
Hope this wasnt waste of your time

you ruined that as soon as you posted a half a question and expected us to all try to guess what you meant. Obviously your time is too valuable to work out a complete question to ask the rest of us.

The others are right. Composite walls could fix your rotation problem. A user manual (or maybe just reading the on-screen options) is a wonderful thing, especially when it's used once in a while. If you don't want to do any learning on your own, don't expect us to spoon feed you.

I don't think the question was all that unclear...

But regardless, the short answer is that you can't have a scalable fill with an adjustable origin point in a composite structure.

Your options are to:
1) Use a different type of fill that doesn't depend on origins.
2) Draw it as an empty fill, and apply a 2D fill over the top later. I might mention that there are some LINETYPES that may work better for this than a fill (see the 3.5" batt linetype in the standard template file). Unfortunately, you can't use such a linetype in a composite structure, but they are very fast to add afterwards. The composite structure will give you snapping points, too.

Rotation?"#$%& Who, what, where
Composite walls might fix my problem?! Man, are you o.k.?

Thank you Richard. All is clear now

O.k.
I created my own pattern that I applyed over an empty slab fill. The problem now is that I canot control the position of the fills pattern. Like, lets say that I would like that my pattern starts at red point.
Can this be done?
Thanx!

Sorry for asking but what is the meaning of creating your own patterns, as cut fills, when you absolutly dont have any control, what so ever, in their futher editing.
I understand in using them as some 2d fills for floors, roofs, as tile patterns, but for cut fills, where you need accuracy, size and placement control, give me a break

[Eduardo Rolon]

You can control were your fills start.

If you search in the help section under "Fill Origin" you can read all about it…

This answers your previous post. HTH

Control of the Fill's origin is the easiest thing to do in AC.

But unless you are a medium you have to read the manual to learn how.

Or ask the Fotm users more politely!

Reading your posts makes me feel like being in a teenage chat-room!

Don't use such fills for insulation symbol.
It makes just trouble. Waste of time!
There are many alternatives for insulation symbols.
