    Default fill pattern not showing in topo surface

    I have inserted a topo surface into my drawing with the material set to by category. Under object style i have set topo to have earth material (which in turn has the earth section fill). no matter what i do i can get the fill patter to show.

    Any help?

    Probably you have set an override
    Check this
    go to the section view showing the topo >
    go to the view's Visibility/Graphics settings (shortcut VV) >
    have a look at the Override Model Patterns

    Under Settings_Site Settings make sure that your section material is set to earth section and that the Elevation of poche base value is set correctly. If it is higher than your site the poche will not show up. Set it to a value lower than your lowest point on the site.

    Be sure that the earth material (in the materials definition) has its cut pattern set to earth section as well.

    ...or is it that you are trying to set a surface pattern to the topo? If so, this cannot be done as yet. Topo surfaces do not support surface patterns.
