Drawing Masonry

[nicnicman]

In the attached drawing I would like to get rid of the solid lines surrounding the masonry hatch. The only way I can think to do this is by using Sketch to outline the masonry. This is very time consuming. Is there a better way?

 

If any one knows of any blocks I could use please let me know.

 

Thanks everyone.

I must be stupid, I dont get what you asking!

 

You want the masonary to be hidden?

[nicnicman]

No, I don't want the masonry hidden I just want the outline of the masonry hatch to look more rock-like; instead of a straight line.

 

Thanks for the help.

Where did you get the hatch pattern from? Is it a pre-installed AutoCAD pattern?

 

I have some software called Stone CAD 5, made to be used with AutoCAD, and it creates a great Hatch Pattern...

 

Do you want me to hatch this for you and send it back to you?

[nicnicman]

The hatch came from the internet somewhere. It seems to match what the customer is looking for. The hatch isn't really the problem. I just don't like the solid straight line that surrounds the hatch.

 

On the attached elevation I erased the surrounding line and used the Sketch command to manually draw the outside of the rocks. This takes a long time. I was just looking for a quicker way. Maybe I'm being too fussy!

So you are wanting to have a 3D textured look then dont you?

[nicnicman]

Yeah somewhat. I just want the outside of the hatch to look more realistic.
