How to show insulation on a building plan

[helsinki98]

Hello thar, i am having issues with being able to represent insulation in walls on my plans, i first thought that i would need to use the hatch draw tool but i was unable to find the diagram i was looking for. I want to use (the sideways 8 looking symbol) If it isnt already pre installed on autocad does anyone know where i can find this symbol to download?

 

Cheers.

You're in luck as we have a thread around here (very recent) that discussed creating a batt insulation hatch pattern. Use the Search feature above and type in "batt insulation" and it is sure to come up. Some of the most recent posts were made earlier today. Matt Hamby (?) is the forum member. He's got a dynamite routine.

Thanks for the quick reply! I will do my best in the future not to clutter the forum and use the search function more often

Might intent was not to admonish you re: using the Search feature. Since you are a new forum member perhaps you were unaware of its existence. No insult or offense intended.

To make amends...here is the thread.

Insulation is a standard Autocad line type called 'Batting', not a hatch pattern. It can be scaled to increase it's width. I use it all the time. It can be set up with other line types as a multiple line so you can draw the whole wall construction in one go.

Batting works great, looks excellent.
