Hi all,

I am trying to change the graphical display of the shadows from the solid grey to a hatched area or even just changing the colour, so the difference of the existing and new shadows is easy to spot. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance

Martin

Are you talking in a plan view or 3D view?  Eitherway I don't believe it is possible to do what you are looking for.  You could export the file to a JPEG or PDF and use photoshop to make the changes you are looking for.

Thanks teafoe5,

I am trying to show it in a plan view. The aim is to demonstrate to the neighouring properties what the impact of the proposed addition means to them.

I can change the intensity of the solid grey fill to a black or a lighter grey, but it would have been good to change the fill to a hatch to make it more obvious.

"change the intensity of the solid grey fill to a black or a lighter grey" Sorry for now this is your only option.  Another item for the Wishlist.
