Walls, Hatching Layer Question

[JKEdmo]

I couldn't find this in Help, but what is this layer used for? 

 

 

Thanks,

Search help for "wall hatching" and lots of info...opening line in help below, with more info found within help:

"The Wall Hatching tool can be used to fill wall segments with a single hatch pattern in plan view. To apply wall hatching, select Build> Wall> Wall Hatching, then click on a wall. The hatch pattern covers the entire length and width of the wall segment."

 

 

also: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00034/adjusting-the-display-of-wall-layers.html

"The "Walls, Hatching" layer is used for wall hatching when the Wall Hatching  tool is used."

 

I personally use this for designating interior bearing walls within my plan so I can turn that layer on and off for the various plans I want or don't want to display them on.

how can I turn it into solid?

THANK YOU 

[BenPalmer]

The link supplied in previous post covers most of that...following those direction, select the hatching after it has been placed, open it's dialogue box and change the pattern to solid fill and choose desired color.

 

OR before applying the hatching, double click the tool and designate the fill then the subsequent walls you paste it on will have that designation.
