Hi,
does anyone know of a good way to get the area of a hatch with grasshopper? I want to make a script that automatically creates roomstamps based on hatches.
Thanks!

Legacy Elefront can Reference and Deconstruct Hatches.

Ok, thanks! I just found out that Human also does that. Its a bit fiddly though, as a hatch with holes turn into several curves. So I need to substract the holes from the outline to get the actual area. Columns in a room in my case.

Anyone know if a native support for hatches is planned in GH2?

If you use a Solid Hatch it will return a Trimmed Surface with the correct area.
