Use the Link to Fill Origin to fine-tune the angle of the fill pattern. If you choose Link to Project Origin, the orientation of the hatching will always be drawn orthogonally from the Project Origin, independently of the transformations made on the element. Radial Distorted Fill (Symbol Fills only) For cut fills used in components of complex or composite elements, Fill Orientation settings derive from their Building Material.For Cover Fills assigned to a Mesh, Slab, Roof, Morph or Shell, use the controls under Cover Fill in the Settings dialog box.For Zones that use a vectorial or symbolic cover fill, use the radio buttons in the Floor Plan panel of Zone Settings.For Fill elements that use a vectorial or symbolic cover fill, use the “Construction Method” options in the General Settings panel of Fill Settings.
