To edit the fill pattern, select the color indicator and specify a color or effect using the color palette. You can also type the hexadecimal value of a color (for example, 0xff0000) in the text box.
In the Bound box, specify the fill pattern and transparency of the fill pattern to compound with the basic fill of the wall.
In the Border box, specify the color, transparency, line style, and thickness for the border of the wall.
