It would also be helpful if there was a setting that allowed markups to serve as boundaries for dynamic fill.

I also ran into this yesterday, the Boundary size I can work with most time because you just have to line up one side of the thick line, it doesn’t have to be associated with anything at all. I was running into an issue where the Fill dot was too big. In full disclosure, I was creating tiny social media buttons for my email signature. 😂

I’ve run into the problem of the dot being too big as well e.g. areas like shingle margins around a house.

With the boundary, a lot of the time I find it difficult to get the thick line neatly / accurately lined up with irregular shapes – whether this is curved areas or maybe even trying to stop the fill half way through a door opening in a wall. It may not make too much difference to the overall area measurement but it bugs the hell out of me because it just doesn’t look right! 😆

At times I get frustrated with the dynamic fill results when the limits of the markup aren’t “smooth” for lack of a better term. I find that I end up going back in and deleting “extra” points to make the markup “look right” as you say Vince. Many times this appears to be an issue with the quality of the original linework. While I like the concept of dynamic fill sometimes I find it quicker to just click my way around a shape rather than going back to clean up the “extra” control points.

You might try adjusting the Edge Sensitivity in the Dynamic Fill Properties..

I have adjusted everything as much as possible but could still do with being able to adjust even more – just being fussy I guess! 😆

You really should have your IT staff putting those things together for you Troy so you can focus on more important task. 🙂

My IT guy sent me to my marketing guy, who sent me to my graphics designer. After getting the run-around, I just decided to do it myself! 😂
