Rotate roof cover fill

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi,
I have a sloped roof with a cover fill that should be made of vertical lines.
I have created a fill rotated 90 degrees but on the plans and elevations the fill lines are still displayed horizontally.
Is there a way to rotate the cover fill of a sloped roof?
Thanks

Under the "Cover Fill" settings, check the box labeled "Align to Slope".

You can also change the Cover Fill orientation to "Link to Fill Origin" and move/rotate the fill.

Thanks,
I used the " link to fill origin" and was able to rotate the fill on the plan but in the elevation it is still horizontal even if I say "align to slope".

Sorry, the cover fill settings only apply in plan.

The Material settings control what it looks like in elevation. Make sure you select a material whose fill is oriented the way you want for elevation (there is a "3D rotate material" command, but you are probably better off without it!!).
