Christiaan Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Does anyone have an earth hatch they can share? Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Christiaan- Attached is a 2009 file containing a 45deg earth hatch, along with a few others that I use often in building sections. HTH, Tim Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 There's one in here but it's horizontal not diagonal. Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Here are two I've made - 45 and 90 degree versions. Quote Link to comment

Christiaan Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Thanks guys. I was looking for something half the scale of these (looks to too big on our 1:5 details) so I think I'm going to have to break out the manual. I just know this is going to end in tears. Edit: Scratch that, Mike's wins. I'll just use Page units instead of World. Thanks again, much appreciated. Edited October 28, 2010 by Christiaan Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Christiaan- You can scale the entire hatch to be what you want. Go to 'Edit Hatch...' and at the bottom is 'Scale...' where you can apply the scale factor to all levels at once. Then up separate hatches for each drawing scale you want (Earth 1:5, Earth 1:10, etc). Regards, Tim Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Okay, now I'm going to cry. Been there the whole time right? Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Tim, you no longer need to have different hatches for different scales and rotations. In Vw 2010 hatches were given the ability to be scaled and rotated using the Attribute Mapping tool. See this movie: Easy Mapping of Associative Hatches. http://www.nemetschek.net/library/index.php?movie=2010movies Quote Link to comment

rDesign Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Mike- Thanks for the tip. I use that tool quite a bit, but it has its drawbacks when you want graphic consistency between multiple files & users. As far as I know, since the modified hatch does not show up on the Resource Browser list, you are not able to export it to another file. You have to use the eyedropper tool, but that doesn't work if you have multiple users working on the same project files. I'm with The Blind Expert, I find it quicker and more consistent to have multiple hatches at different scales. But when I need to rotate a hatch, the Attribute Mapping tool is the only way to go.

Asemblance Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Hi All, I am looking for an earth hatch (such as the OP was after), but can't seem to access the link at the top or attachments. I'm guessing these don't work since the forum moved? Could someone post up again please? Thanks! Quote Link to comment

angelojoseph Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 any possibility of these files and links being restored? resources for vectorworks are pretty poor, and these threads offered at least a modicum of assistance (when working) 3 Quote Link to comment
