Hi All, I made a script (yes it was waaaay more esoteric and involved than i anticipated) that interactively makes .pat hatch files files and imports them to the rhino document. Yes no more generic hatches! Yes you can set the initial scale! yes all you hatchfans* you may rejoice! Uses the excelle…

Wonderful, looking forward to playing with the script this evening! Thank you Ralph

[image] Got two errors opening the file: Any chance you could update your TT Toolbox plugin, version 1.9 is 5 years old? Not sure where the Bounding rectangle component - I can’t find a package called Python - any clues there? Really appreciate all the hard work.

Thanks Ralph The script don’t work because i don’t have some plugins I hope you remove unnecessary components

Hi @benjamin here’s a version which uses only pufferfish (also reposted above): hatchmaker_v015_uses_pufferfish_v3_only.gh (117.2 KB) let me know if this works for you R

Hi Ralph I replace some components and vb scripts by python scripts The grid and pattern scale tool removed, you can add them back. I also notice that the input curve have duplicated lines which make the hatch also with duplicated lines and make the writing slower. Please check the file hatchma…

Belated thanks again Ralph - appreciate you sharing the script - we should all do more of this
