For Rhino BETA , we’ve redesigned Rhino’s Hatch pattern interface with a fast, visual grid. This will allow better management of large collections of hatch patterns. [image] Why This Feature? Previous versions of Rhino managed hatch patterns through a simple dropdown list interface that became unw…

1.layout hatch: A 40x40 cm grid of a tile hatch defined as a layout hatch will appear as 40x40 cm in model space. In layout space (e.g. 1:100), it keeps its proportion in relation to the model — so on the paper print, it will appear as 0.4 x 0.4 cm. 2.model hatch: A 40x40 cm grid of a tile hatch de…

Correct, that is the Layout vs Model hatch behavior. The Use Hatch Scaling will turn off the scaling behavior globally of the Layout hatch in Layouts. We are still trying to work out how these behaviors work in practice. So please give this a try and see how it works for models and drawings.

This is very important and awaited feature but I have some doubts about the way it was implemented. I don’t understand why you went with distinguishing between two completely separate Hatch types. This for me doesn’t align with other Rhino elements, such as Layers, which are a single object but hav…

The general rule on drafting poche is that it should be the same size on the page regardless of the View Scale. The model scale hatches are for real world sizes such as concrete block. There is the ability to override a hatch in Section via its Style.

Yes, the same size regardless of the View Scale is perfectly understandable. The point is, however, that the representation of these Layout Unit Hatches in Model View can only be controlled by the global scale multiplier. It’s possible that I’ll have two good-looking hatches in Layouts (because the…

If you set the Objects Section Style by Clipping Plane the Clipping Plane settings govern the cut pattern. [image] This is the only way to set an override of a hatch and choose which view it applies to (via clipping plane settings) [image] [image] Jakub Czajczynski: The same as in Revit by…

Ah ok, thanks. I know about both of these, but they are rather workarounds to this problem IMO.

The difference here is if the hatch pattern has some final standard scale or not. The example shown is a reinforced concrete hatch. By standard it should have 0.25" between the lines when printed on the final sheet. So it needs to be a Layout Style Hatch. Hopefully people do not have to worry abo…

[image] Scott Davidson: Hatches can be switched between the two Ahh, that makes more sense! But I didn’t intuit it from the names. Might it be helpful to give them names that don’t carry the placement implications of Display and Layout? Scaling and Non-scaling maybe? Regards Jeremy

As a university student—and speaking on behalf of many of my colleagues—it would be extremely helpful to have the ability to generate insulation batting directly from a single line in Rhino, similar to how it works in AutoCAD. This would be especially valuable for complex or irregular shapes and geo…
