where?!

apologies, i am new to this. i think i have updated my profile now tho.

The issue I have is as follows:
when assigning a material to a wall, for example the wood siding dark, you will see that in 3d. Then in elevation settings i have the vectoral hatch ticked so that you will get the horizontal planks showing which i was what I want. However I then cannot see a way in which to alter the colours of this hatch. Altering the uncut pen in the wall settings will change the outline and the lines in the hatch but I cannot see where to alter the background colour of the hatch or where it is picking that colour up from.
I am aware it is easily done in cover fills with the foreground and background pens but cannot see an obvious way of doing the same process for the vectoral hatches.
I hope this makes the issue I have a little clearer and appreciate any help!

The colour in shaded elevations is determined by the material's Internal Engine "Surface colour".

And make sure in the Elevation / Section tool settings you have Fill uncut surfaces with... "Own material colours"

AMAZING!
thanks for your help! an easy solution-just knowing where to find it, the same as for many other issues for a newbie!
