Fill area using hatch

I created 3 rectangles near each other to indicate an isolated wall:

rec 0,0 - 10,10
rec 10,0 - 20,10
rec 20,0 - 30,10
line 0,0 - 60,0

I tried to fill the rectangles but it seems very hard to see what one has selected. Als sometimes the solid fill succeed but mostly it fails. In never succeeded to fill it with a pattern.

Has anyone an idea how to handle this.

Selection is done by the selecting contours option.

Version is QCad 2.1 on Fedora Core 6.

Most likely you are drawing a number of rectangles which share one more more side with another rectangle. When selecting with the contour selection tool, the tool cannot know which lines belong together. I recommend to never have multiple lines at identical positions (at least not on the same layer). You might want to use other lines tools (e.g. parallels) instead of rectangles or delete the double entities after drawing the rectangles.
