Fill textures

Fill a closed shape with a material texture such as brick, wood, tile or siding so plans read at a glance.

Textures show what a surface is made of. They are available on Grid layouts.

Categories

Solid colors (with a custom color picker), brick (running, basket, English and Flemish bond), wood (grain, plank and panel), stone, tile, concrete, stucco, metal, glass, fabric, roofing, siding, landscaping, water, blinds, synthetic materials and asphalt.

Apply

Use the fill command or the toolbar button, then tap a closed shape and pick a texture. Only closed shapes can be filled. Tap a filled shape again to change or remove its texture. The drawing underneath is untouched, and fills appear in reports and exported images exactly as on screen.

Use light solid colors for big areas and detailed textures for small ones, such as brick for a chimney surround. On elevations fills can stand for siding, brick, stone veneer and glass.
