Surface Hatches in Section Viewports


Recommended Posts

Surface hatches are great, but in Section Viewports it's possible to snap to them. And when the Section VP's Line Style for "Objects Beyond Section Plane" (OIP > Advanced Properties > Attributes) is set to "Use Class," even the line weights of surface hatches (unlike "regular" (non-surface) hatches) use the assigned class's line weights.

It seems there's rarely, if ever, a need to snap to hatches (mortar joints? crushed stone? grains of sand?...). I can't think of any other condition in VW where it's possible to snap to (the lines of) a hatch.

I also can't think of any other condition in VW where the line weights of a hatch are controlled by anything other than the hatch itself. In an elevation or section, a hatch - such as brick or wood siding - typically wants to have a much lighter line weight than everything else... yet the ability to accomplish this with surface hatches in section viewports seems to be missing...
