COLUMN FILL PATTERN

[BruceKC]

Using the Chief library columns, is there a way to define the plan view with a fill pattern?  Don's see a way other than creating a 2D box with a till pattern and placing it over the top.

CAD, CAD block management, find the block in the list, Insert

Once placed in plan, select, edit cad block. When done close, popup will ask-

Now select one column, open symbol, block, check off use original plan colors. Now add to library.

Select any other column- replace from library-identical objects on floor.

If using columns within a railing wall replace newel from library- then drag the wall.

Mark, I got it to work except the hatch pattern in the center isn't displaying and I've tried everything I can think of to make it show, I've brought parts to the front, and the other parts sent to the back, but it doesn't help.  Any idea what I've done wrong.  Enclosed a picture showing what I ended up with (on the left) and what the edited cad block shows before it's saved and what I want it to look like.

Post images not PDF, better yet post sample plan. Likely has to do with fill background (I didn't look at PDF)
