Anyone ever have this problem?  I am trying to hatch an end of an apartment building complex.  There are 12 units total.  A four flat that steps down at each set.  I have cleaned up the ends and when I try to hatch the wall I only get a portion of it.  I have had similar problem with similar in the past but it was done because of building options.  What I am going to have to do is create a new paint boundary to get it all to work.  But I really would like to know why it is happening.

I've seen it many times, and sometimes the fix is as easy as moving the seed point. Sometimes it's a major issue, but I've never found out what causes it.

 

If you make the PAINT SEED POINT visible, and try moving it around and regenerate/cleanup paint, and see what that does.

 

With the seed point visible, you can ONLY edit/move the paint from the seed point.

I have had this happen a number of times and it usually occurs when there is an open space that the paint could bleed through.

Even after closing the space clean-up or regenerate may not fix this.

If you erase the paint and then select it again from the library it seems to work.

It happens to me sometime and not just necessarily large areas. Sometime I can zoom and clean it and other times it just won't work without splitting in many areas.

Coffee break time.. Check out the Masters leader board.  Try it again.

It is the floor elevation lines causing the paint not to completely fill the area. I know there are openings and the right side, but it causes an issue with the boundaries. Try putting the lines on a different layer so you can turn off their visibility - paint the area - then make them visible.

What do you mean by elevation lines?  The dimension extension ones or from the site-grade? 

[Keith Almond]

Probably the elevation Marker lines that have been extended across the elevation.

The paints sometime are affected by items that it shouldn't. I had an issue a couple of months ago where I had to identify the height from the grade to the mid roof. Because I had a line representing the mid roof that extended just a bit over the roof, my paint for the roofing would stop at an angle at the junction of the roof line and the mid roof line. Reducing the mid roof line so that it wouldn't overlap the roof at all would allow the paint to cover the whole roof as it should.

Looking at your original post, this is what is happening.
