Question re surface hatches on hardscapes


Tom W.

Recommended Posts

I have a series of adjoining hardscapes: they are all the same style but some are level, some are sloping + some are aligned. They have a brick texture assigned to them + I have allocated a surface hatch to that texture. But when I view the hardscapes in 3D hidden line render mode only the level hardscapes display the surface hatch. Is there a reason why the sloped + aligned hardscapes don't display the surface hatch?

I haven't investigated further - I'm just playing around with the settings - it just seemed strange that it should behave in this way + thought I'd ask the question...

Thanks

Hi Tom
I'm looking into this for you. I suspect it is because the underlying type of geometry changes. If the Hardscape is a Slab, then the geometry is an extrude. When it's Aligned Slab, it becomes a mesh. But I will do some more testing and speak to our engineering team to see if I can get to the bottom of it.
