Multiple Fills for different views


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

A few questions related to drawing a brick mill building.

 

First, I want to use one fill for the brick in plan, but a different fill in the cross section cut. I've selected my section viewport and changed the brick wall fill to the hatch that I want, which is what I see recommended in the forum,  but it doesn't change anything for me. These are untstyled walls with a class fill for brick.

 

Next, I have one wall that appears almost totally transparent. Class, layer, fill, and opacity all appear to be identical to adjacent brick walls that appear correctly.

 

Finally, this is more of a long shot. The walls get one brick wythe thinner each floor you go up, so I drew a separate wall for each layer. Now of course there are horizontal lines between the walls of different layers. I know there's a stacked wall tool, but that would require me to do a lot of placing of window and door openings, so I'm hoping there's another way to eliminate the lines between different wall levels such.

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help.

This is all quite easy to remedy but be easier to demonstrate with a sample file if you can post one.
