Is there a way to use a hatch pattern rather than a solid?

Here is what I do:

Go ahead and use solids.

Then select the solids the you want to become hatch (so that the grips light
up)

right-click and select "shrinkwrap".

You should now have a polyline that defines your hatch extents.

Hatch away.

And I should have added - "Look at the bottom of that thread."

We must have posted at about the same time, John.

Look at my 2nd contribution, and you'll see where it's "hidden" nowadays in
2K6.

Thank-you Doug & Don. This will be an often used tool around here.

I just put ^C^C_aeclineworkshrinkwrap; into a toolbar button. Works fine.

I had tried the bottom-most contribution - minus the aec, worked fine.

1) there's a typo in the Help file. (_AECShrinkWrapLineWork instead of
_AECLineWorkShrinkWrap) and,
2) lineworkshrinkwrap works well and
3) might be a good candidate for an alias

thanks all

Have they gotten the slope display to work right past 2004?

We need to use here on nearly every project & every project my boss screams that they don't make any sense & they don't. We can run models from aerial company contours and the slopes will still be at odd angles to the contours rather than perpendicular.

I have gotten steep slope skinny slivers on dead flat sites.

Boss usually makes us go through & manually edit to agree with his scale on paper measurement between 10 foot contours.
