Hi,

I'm trying to modify a lighting fixture family to create the floor plan symbol shown in the first image.  However, since the family is wall-hosted, I've been unable to add a filled region to the back view of the family.  Could anyone help me in figuring out how to add a filled region to the side view of this family?

To add any symbol to a side of a family first you have to set the workplane to that side (go to left/right or front/back plane). Then create the symbol with the appropiate level of detail.

But once the workplane is set, how can I create a filled region using symbolic lines??

Go to the side view and draw them!  TRY IT!

Use the filled region tool, from the anotattion tab, once you have set the workplane to "front/back". Use a front or back view to draw that anotattive symbol.

If you still have problems, you can upload the rfa file.
