Solid hatches become boxes instead fitting into form

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

Hey there!

In my latest project I experiences some problems with solid hatches. If I create solid hatches in smooth forms (in my case hatching green fields within a urban park) some of them don’t fill the form - instead they became boxes. Some thing I noticed: Sometimes when I move those hatches just to another place they turn into their real form. But I can’t move my whole drawing because of this. In some cases I selected the hatch and then - dupborder - hatch them and the problem is gone. In other cases they still appear wrong. If I use other not solid hatches with a very small size, I can “optically” avoid this but when I go printing I get not really good looking prints.

Does anybody know what causes this?

Here are some pictures:

Hi - please post a 3dm file with that hatch. Also run the Rhino SystemInfo command and post the result here.

Your file may be too far from the 0,0 coordinate origin.

Hmm. Maybe - but why all other hatches work correctly? I see that only hatches get weird, when their curvature is very “fluid”. Regular hatches - I mean with simple geometry - work as designed. This problem also appears still, when I move the hatch to 0,0,0.

The reason why the whole drawing is so far away from zero is that the file is geo-referenced.

Here you can see the three corrupted hatches (stadium, above and left to the lake).

Hello - Run SimplifyCrv on these curves, and then Hatch

That’s the fix! Thank you so much!
