With this routine you can insert infills (glazing, panels...) into the drawing as a 2D view. The infills are provided with a position number and dimensions and can optionally be completely dimensioned.
You can also qualify infills, i.e. select a qualified Infill and assign it directly to a job. Infills of this nature possess the same properties as 3D infills, they can be analyzed with Infill list and Infill diagram and are taken into account on generating sections.

End of program
If you terminate the dialog box Infills with OK, the following input request appears:
The following input requests for the Inset only appear when the Variable inset tick box in the Infill dialog box is set.
Specify inset or [followingSame/?] <14>:
Specify the inset for the first side of the infill. With Enter you accept the default inset.
With the option followingSame the default inset is accepted for all the following sides.
Specify inset or [Undo/followingSame/?] <14>:
Specify the inset for the next side of the infill. With Enter you accept the default inset.
You can change the inset of the previous side with Undo.
This input request is repeated for all sides of the infill. After the last side follows:
Specify insertion point <Ok>:
Use the mouse or enter co-ordinates to specify the insertion point for the infill.
Specify point in the area or [Corner points/?]:
This query is repeated until the command is terminated with Enter or a right click.
Option Corner points
Specify corner point or [Area/?]:
Specify the first corner point of the outline with the mouse.
You can indicate a point in the area of the outline with the Option Area.

• The infill dimensioning generally occurs without decimal places.
• The current dimension settings (Layer ...) are used for dimensioning.
