How to shade areas with Fill and Polygon Fill
1 min read Updated
Fill shades rooms and zones in color so scope stands out on a busy plan. Pick a color and opacity from Fill in the toolbar. Polygon Fill shades a shape you click out yourself, for zones with odd or angled edges. Fills can be recolored or cleared later.
Shade a shape
- 1Select the shape you want to shade, such as an area you have measured.
- 2Open Fill in the toolbar.
- 3Pick a color and set the opacity so the plan still shows through.
Shade your own shape with Polygon Fill
- 1Choose Polygon Fill in the tool list.
- 2Click around the outline of the zone, point by point.
- 3Close the shape to shade it.
Tips
- Use one color per trade or stage so the plan explains itself.
- Fills print and export with the plan unless you hide them.
- Shading does not change any measurement underneath it.
