    Default Colour Fill a Box?

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Another noob question...

    How do we fill a rectangle or any close shape surface with a colour? Commands please?

    Gave a search and there was not much on the keyword "fill".

    You are looking for the HATCH command.
    Volume and repetition do not validate opinions forged in the absence of thought.

    Bit extra Hatch Solid also can make transparent still coloured, use Draw Order to back

    Once hatch is activated, the menu that pops up will allow you to select the object (make sure its closed or the hatch wont work) then after its selected select from the drop down menu the solid option and select the colour you want press return and bobs your uncle it should be done ok ?
