Solid wall hatch not visible

[AHdesigner]

I'd like my walls to be a solid gray hatch.

 

In the wall specifications the wall type is set for a hatch and it shows it in the preview but doesn't show up on the floor plan. The appropriate layers are turned on. Incidentally, I can switch out the hatch to a grid and it shows up but the solid hatch in any color won't show up.

 

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Are you sure the layer called "Walls, Layers" is turned on?

 

Although, I can't think of a way to show a fill style with a pattern and not show a fill style with a solid fill using the layers in a wall type.  You are probably going to have to post the plan.

Thanks for the suggestions for the signature.

Yes, I meant Fill not Hatch.

The file is too big - I'll have to figure out how to share just one floor/page that will show my issue.

Do a save as on the plan and delete everything that doesn't matter.  Another thing you can do is zip it (turn it into a compressed file) since that will be much smaller.

OK - that worked. It should be attached now.

Maybe experiment with this setting

 

I'll check this out. Thanks

Ugh, I should have been able to guess that. 

 

When color is turned off, all of the colors will either be mapped to black/white or to some version of gray depending on that preference.  The program default is b/w and since the solid gray you used for your walls was light enough, they ended up white which is why they did not show in your plan.

 

So you can either turn color on, make the gray a darker gray, or change your preference to use grayscale.
