Assign a Cut Fill (GDL Elements)

See Building Materials.

For GDL-based elements (Objects, Curtain Walls), or for a freehand Fill drawn using the Fill Tool, Cut Fills are assigned in their Settings dialog boxes.

Note: Construction elements use the cut fill defined for the assigned Building Material.

To define a default cut fill for a GDL-based element, such as an Object:

1.Activate the Object tool; or select the placed Object.

2.Go to the Floor Plan and Section panel of its Settings (or click Floor Plan and Section button in the Info Box.)

3.Go to the Cut Surfaces controls.

4.Enable the Override Object’s Attributes checkbox

5.For the listed Cut Fill parameter, click the fill name or icon to access the list of available fills, and choose one.

Note: Only Fills defined as Cut Fills in Options > Element Attributes > Fills are available here.
