dlw Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Please see attached. As shown, the hatch is out from the wall. The hatch was created on the wall, or, I thought it was. The hatch, I think, is actually on 'y' axis at '0'. Whereas the wall is at '4"' on the 'y' axis. When creating the hatch, a few times, I do not see a way to place the hatch at '4' on the 'y' axis. What am I doing wrong and how can it be corrected Thanks, dlw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) It might help if you set the origin of your UCS in the proper location and orientation prior to trying to hatch. Personally, I see little reason to hatch a 3D drawing if all you are going to do later on is attach materials. That is what you are going to do right? Is that hatch pattern supposed to represent clapboard or vinyl siding by any chance? Edited March 15, 2016 by ReMark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you attempting to do something similar to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlw Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Yes, Thanks for asking. I created an array of lines to represent logs. Need to figure out how to remove part of the lines where they cross door and windows. Researching now. Or, tomorrow rather. dlw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Why don't you apply materials? http://www.mycadsite.com/tutorials/level_3/3-9.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark & Cad are absolutely right, pay attention, as they know what they are talking about. Check out the tutorial link Cad64 posted, as it will be a real eye opener for you.

ReMark Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 You can't remove part of an array without trimming it which for a 3D drawing would be the wrong approach. If your ultimate goal is going to be a rendered image then applying material would be the best approach. The only other option I can think of would be to create actual logs as 3D solids which would be doable but a little more time consuming.
