Sally yang Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Hi, I am very new to 3D. I noticed after I extrude 2D shape to 3D form, my 2D hatch will disappear. In top/plan view, everything have 3D form will just be wireframe. In top view , everthing shows the material I have attached in 3D. The hatch I allocate in 2D shapes are not there anymore. So currently for each design, I have a 2D file with 2d hatach pattern, and a 3D file with materials I have allocated in render. I wonder if there is a way to keep the 2D hatch in the 3D file, so I don't need to switch between two files when there are revisions. I have attached a top/plan view of the 3D file, where everything shows in wireframe...the 2D decking hatch is gone after I extruded the 2D shape. Quote Link to comment
EAlexander Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) Take a look at hybrid symbols and/or auto hybrids in the help files. These will let you have 2d geometry in top/plan view and 3d in all other views. The two are similar in concept, but work a little differently. Quick video on hybrids here: Edited June 9, 2020 by EAlexander 1 Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 You can also use Slabs, Floors, or Roof Faces if you only need planar objects that will take a fill in Top/Plan. Quote Link to comment
