New: Extended 2D fill patterns and 3D textures in 2D views
In previous versions of 3D CAD Architecture, fill patterns were entirely based on drawing routines provided by Windows. In version 5, you can create your own patterns from lines, circles, curves etc. and use them in your projects. To this end, the fill properties for elements displayed in 2D have been greatly extended.
