Architect or LandmarkConcept: Hardscape fills and joint patterns

Difficulty level: Beginner

A single hardscape object can have multiple components, each with its own fill or joint pattern.

The hardscape can be filled with a solid color, pattern, hatch, tile, gradient, or image from the Attributes pane of the Hardscape Preferences dialog box. See Hardscape preferences: Attributes pane and Fill attributes for details.

For the main and border hardscape areas, different joint pattern overlays are available.

Main joint pattern overlays include flagstones and pavers, as well as hatches, stipples, and tiles.

Border joint pattern overlays include spaced joints and the same hatch, stipple, and tile options available for main joint patterns.

If a main joint pattern overlay is specified, it is drawn over the hardscape object fill. Both the object fill and the main joint pattern apply to the entire hardscape, unless it has a border.
