Hi,
if we are really talking about a shade - a CAD program isn't build to do something like that.
But if you can live with hatches - that will work in many kinds of pattern or also in many different solid colors.

Re: How do i crate a shaded area?
Husky is correct, this is the case currently for QCAD but you can achieve gradient fills in some CAD packages.
This would make for a fantastic feature request... ...for QCAD too.
A Gradient tab could be added to the hatch dialog window and maybe offer one or two colours, then simply adjust a shade/tint slide. Already we use something similar when setting our background colour etc. in the user preferences so maybe something can be done for this in QCAD too .
@andrew - what do you think? this would be such a bonus for making a very good 2D presentation drawing in QCAD.

For the best support please state your operating system, QCAD version and add any supporting DXF/DWG files, screenshots etc...

Yes, as far as I know gradients are supported in DXF / DWG for hatches, so if there is a demand for that, why not?
