Objects set to fill but are not closed disappear if Filled Rendering set to on

They remain in place and are selectable but won’t show up until selected.

How do you fill an unclosed object? It becomes 1-dimensional.

I’ve run into this behavior myself, but it makes sense.

It’s on the list to fix. We don’t recommend using ‘filled rendering’ for much other than spot checking partially because of this. Determining whether a shape is closed or not is complex - it came up recently here:

Layer's colors on canvas drawing priority

There are a few other gotchas to filled rendering that need to be addressed. The biggest being that when you are creating a shape with lines, but on a layer set to fill, it doesn’t draw the shape at all unless it’s closed. The code to determine whether a shape is closed or not is complicated, so I need to cache that value in the shapes and update it when they change, like I do with some others.

Thanks. I looked for a similar post but missed it.

No hidden meaning there, just pointing you at something that explained it a little better.
