Hello, could someone please help me with adding color to a drawing. I have a drawing of an office floor plan. On one floor, there are 5 different branches. I want to designate a color for each branch. How can I add color to each room on my floor plan?

Welcome to this forum kbattist!

 

I usualy make a boundery with pline "pl" and than hatch that area in any color I desire.

 

MAke sure you do this in a new layer so you can turn it off if you want to draw anything els on the floorplans.

Well heres a step by step.

 

1, open a new drawing to test!

 

2, type 'pl' to create a polyline then enter so you can start.

 

3, make a random figure (square) and when your done type "c" to close it

 

4, now type "hatch" and enter. the hacth option will start up.

 

5. Take a look at all the optios here, normaly you can figure it out.

Bit more if you use solid as the hatch pattern pick light colours.

 

Also under Tools Draw order send to back, if you want line work to appear on top.

I usually use a solid hatch and as Bigal says I move my to the back with the DrawOrder command.
