Hello, By 2D linetype I understand some repeatible 2D geometry arrayed along some line, polyline or curve - i.e insulation line (batting) found in Autocad. Of course it is possible in Rhino to easily draw or generate such geometry, however, the case is that architects and designers commonly exchang…

[image] Michal: By 2D linetype I understand some repeatible 2D geometry arrayed along some line, polyline or curve - i.e insulation line (batting) found in Autocad. Hi Michal - thanks, I’ve added this to the list of things to look into for V6 and beyond. Complex SHP Linetypes (2d L…

if You need that send me message. I add that to my site.

I don’t know if it helps, but currently we’re using Insulation hatch that looks like this: [image]

Hello, I would like to ask if the problem has been solved, but I have not found a solution in Rhino 7. Alternatively, I would like to comment if the problem could not be solved other than using Grasshoper. As Michal writes, when exporting from AutoCAD, the 2D line appears as 1D and loses its geomet…

no it has not been adressed. i dream about this to come with v8. only solution is to do it other cads do it. via .shx files (autocad, …).

Hey Michal, I just searched for this online and I would have really liked to see this in the new Rhino 8. The fact that we are still hatching batting is excruciating, this could be a great addition to many different workflows as well, such as mapping out a complicated design following a curve and t…

10 years later… no progress. :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

I would also love to have this feature.

Yes I would also love this feature

+1, seems so bizarre to me that there’s no built-in easy way to draw insulation batting in Rhino. If it’s too hard to implement, please at least provide as standard a good insulation hatch with rhino 9 !
