      Right from the start all the shapes I draw are an outline,Why aren't they solid objects. I see on YouTube videos that after people make a shape it fills in. I've tried using the paint bucket tool to fill them in but that does nothing. I can't fill in color or texture on anything.

      any advise/help would be greatly appreciated.

        Make sure you have a style active other than "Wireframe".

          If the View settings ought to show faces, then perhaps it's a Graphics Card issue...
          Preferences > OpenGL
          Try switching 'Fast Feedback' off [or on] and see if that helps...
          Or select a lower AntiAlias setting if there's a list...

          Also check that your GC's driver is up to date...

            Thanks for the suggestion cotty,
            I just tried all the different styles and there was no noticeable difference between them.

              Thank you TIG,

              Switching fast feedback on seem to have worked.

              Thanks for taking the time to help me!
