WISH: A nice clipping plane cross hatch option

[chanley (Chris Hanley)]

I had taken a stab at a Grasshopper/GHPython workflow a little ways back. Not sure it’s the best way, but it got close. Maybe this is an option?
Note: When you start a new rhino document, there are no hatches in the hatch table. With some gh plugins that have hatch capabilities, it may show an error when you first open it. In most cases, if you type DocumentPropertiesPage->Hatch->OK, it will load the default hatches into the document.

Clipping Planes with Hatches in Grasshopper

Below is a WIP of a way to use/manipulate a clipping plane, and apply a hatch fill . Most of the code is from things I have posted before, (I will provide links below). It also uses the Human Plugin, (which I use all the freaking time!), for some line weight display . Also, maybe the make2d components can already do this? It uses 4 custom components: 1 - Retrieve hatch patterns from active Rhino Doc (Human has this) 2 - Apply those hatch patterns to some boundary curves 3 - Apply a materi…

NOTE: example uses Human Plugin and a custom ghpy comonent for making clipping plane.
