I have an area scheme set up for producing diagrams & colour fill backgrounds type stuff- there are approx 1000 areas defined over 15 levels. I don't want to complicate anything any more than I need to because there is a lot of stuff to keep track of (like those 5000+ rooms).

There are/will be various colour schemes being set up to explain the overall scheme in different ways eg. a) figure/ground, b) staging, c) departments/zoning d) etc.
These all work fine & the colours appear as expected.

I can draw detail linework over bits of the plan to show paths of travel etc. These work fine & the colours/linestypes appear as expected.

Occasionally I need to make part of an area a different colour which wouldn't be practical to define as a separate area.
I try to draw some filled regions in the Area Plan - and they all come out dark gray.
If I have a solid filled region it comes out all dark gray.
If I have a transparent hatch the hatch linework comes out dark gray & the background is white.
However, If I use the same filled region type in a regular floor plan it comes out fine.

Is this a bug or WAD?
Can anyone replicate this?
And if it is WAD for what purpose?

erm... had a filter in there that was causing all that dark gray...
