Crosshatching an Area

Crosshatch an area by creating a polygon and filling it with two perpendicular hatch patterns. Optionally, delete the polygon and leave the hatch in an open area of the plane.

Indicate a series of points forming a frame polygon, in which the crosshatch will be created. The first two points define the reference line for the crosshatch. Press Enter to close the polygon.

Specify the interval between hatch lines parallel to the reference line.

Specify the interval between hatch lines perpendicular to the reference line.

The polygon is filled with a rectangular crosshatch at the indicated intervals.

Choose whether to delete the polygon, leaving the crosshatch in the model.
