filled layers

#1
All,
I know it's rather trivial but, can anyone tell me how to draw rectangles or polygons with a certain fill? I mean, like when you design a wall on a plant view and want to have it filled with oblique lines...it could be that, or dashes, or points, circles, colors. All I have so far is drawing filled polygons...
Thanks for any suggestion, maybe I'm taking it from the wrong side...

Hello Manchees:

You can draw your walls, just be shure that you close the corners properly, using the drawing helps, like endpoint, intersection, etc.

I suggest that you draw walls in a specific layer, apart from doors, windows, etc. Then, you can let the wall layers on, and everything else off, and apply the solid hatch. You can draw the hatch in a separate layer, in order to use the walls for further plans like electrical or structural.

Hope this helps, good luck!
