wsma003 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Just wondering if anyone knows how to create a fill in between selected lines that are separate. I understand there is the compose tool that can then have a fill attributed, but I am trying to find something like the archiCAD tool where you can just click on a space with the fill tool and it fills to the closest boundary? Any tips or thoughts would be great, Cheers Will Top Quote Link to comment
dspearman Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Try the 2d polygon tool in the Paint bucket mode This will create a polygon bounded by surrounding lines All lines poly's etc. regardless of selected state. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 dspearman is correct. There is no way to apply a fill or hatch in VW except to an object, so you will have to create a new object between your lines or converts your lines to an object to put in a fill. Quote Link to comment
Kool Aid Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I would imagine that in ArchiCAD, one also creates a new object? The paint bucket is the way to go! If only could it be made to ignore lines etc. in grayed classes? Be it via class properties or classes option. When you get an AutoCAD file (without any coherent internal logic, as they always are), it'd be nice to be able to paint the town red, but still see the context. So, Show/Snap others: bucketing works with everything visible. Gray others: Active class only. Grayed classes: ignored. Quote Link to comment
