Hatch — Archicad

: To see hatch patterns (like bricks or tiles) on surfaces in 3D or elevations, ensure "Vectorial Hatching" is enabled in the Model Effects

To manage hatches effectively, you should be familiar with these common workflows: How to Access/Action Custom Patterns Draw a pattern with 2D tools, copy it, then go to Options > Element Attributes > Fill Types and click "New" to create a Symbol Fill. Fill Types dialog, you can set a fill to be "Scale Independent" (stays the same size regardless of zoom) or "Scale with Plan" (resizes with the model). Visibility archicad hatch

: These automatically appear when an element is "cut" by a section or floor plan cut plane, representing the internal material (e.g., concrete or insulation). Graphic Overrides : These automatically appear when an element is

✅ for construction documents. ✅ Keep a library of your custom .PAT files – don’t rely on a single project. ✅ Name hatches clearly – “Brick_Common_75x225” beats “Hatch1”. ✅ Assign hatches at the material level , not per element. ✅ Test at multiple scales – what works at 1:50 may fail at 1:200.

: These are standard hatching patterns (like bricks or cross-hatching) made of 2D lines. They are perfect for technical documentation. Symbol Fills
