Select Modify > Tile.

Select the desired symbol for tiling from either the default resources or the current file’s resources; see VectorWorks Design Series Default Resources.
VectorWorks does not distinguish between appropriate and inappropriate symbols. For example, if a bathtub symbol is selected to tile an area designated for concrete, it will be used.
