Extracted planer faces should be associative to it's wall

[Patrick Fritsch]

Extracted planer faces should have the ability to be associative to it's relative wall. This would allow to modify wall length or height and we would not have to redo all are elevation hatches. just a productivity thought.

...or we should simply be able to apply hatches to 3D objects without needing to extract planar objects in the first place.

Surely this is the only way to get useful 2D elevations from a 3D model?

[Ozzie]

Of course

Question is

Is it possible to script it now and if so why has it not been implemted now?

[Patrick Fritsch]

Well thanks for all your two cents, I agree christiaan that your suggestion would be best but I'm assuming they would have done that in 2011 if it was possible. I read a recent article where Biplap mentioned NV was already pushing the limits of what is possible with the parasolids engine. Maybe NV could read

this and fill us in.

You could argue the same thing about v2009 or v2010. Millions of features are possible in any release of VW but that doesn't mean they get implemented.

You may be right, perhaps 3D hatching isn't possible. But I find that hard to believe. Difficult to implement maybe, but impossible?
