    All of the objects in the image you posted were manually added to the plan view by the person who created the plan view:

    Walls were drawn.
    Spaces enclosed by walls, railings and invisible walls were given "fills" of different patterns and colors.
    Furniture, accessories and plant objects were manually added from the "Library Browser".
    Text was added to the plan view manually using text tools.
    Terrain features were manually added to emulate the swimming pool, pool deck and flower beds.

    In short, the person who created the object, studied the Reference Manual, practiced what they studied and then used their new won knowledge to create with.
    You enable yourself and then with that ability you use the tools to create such views.

    What a totally unhelpful and condescending reply. Some people never learn.

    Have a look at these articles and see if they help you with your question. They may not be quite what you are looking for but at least they are suggestions which you asked for and not a total put-down.

    What a neat idea! I never thought of doing this until I saw your pic!

    Is it the COLOR you're wanting to replicate? Select the fill (hatch style/size/color) here.
