Hatch Kills Machine

[milezee]

Hatching out some areas of make2d geometry. Solid and gradient etc, if I use a hatch pattern similar to say HatchDash it brings my machine to its knees, solid fill seems fine , sample file attached (RhinoV7 latest SR)

Hello- the hatch scale is 1 - at that scale there are zillions of lines to draw, with the gradient - do you really want that small a pattern here? it looks like a scale of 50 or so might be more appropriate,

Hi Pascal, yes that eases the workload on the machine. But the problem with hatches in Rhino is how it then looks on a layout sheet. (try a layout detail at scale say 1:20 on an A3 sheet page) Outside of using solid hatch fills I’ve always found it a bit of a guessing game with hatches in Rhino

If I understand the situation correctly - you can simply get rid of dynamic scaling of hatches in the layouts by unticking “Enable Hatch Scaling” option.
