How to do: fill color like the color of a layer


Hi!

I would like to use the color defined in a layer, to use it to define the color of a fill, created, for example, with POLY2 command.

The goal is to change the fill color of a lot of smartparts, only changing the layer color in Layer Manager. This system would be interesting, because isn't necessary to run the script of the smartparts.

Is possible to do it?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Xavi,

unfortunately this is not possible.
To achive this, Allplan needs two things:
1. setting for area fills "by Layer"
2. specify for each layer the color of filling, hatching, pattern aso.

A better solution for doing this job and always exisiting is:
Use face sets in combination with drawing types!

I suspected the way to create it correctly is like you explained before, Jörg :-)

Thanks Jörg!
Best regards,
Xavi
