different hatch for different role or material

[StefanoPasquini6790]

Dear forum member,

It exist a way to let Advance Steel assing different hatch in secioned elements in view using the criterion By Role or By material, for example assigning inclined lines ANSI31 for steel members and AR CONC for concrete elements?

Thank you in advance for your reply

The system allows you to create different hatch patterns within the dethatch table, setting up different colours etc.

this in turn is linked into the drawing style under the presentation lines, so for concrete beams in a cut view you set it be a particular hatch based upon that table.

the drawing style system is based upon model objects, which can be based upon the object type steel beam or model role.

the model roles can be linked into the model objects of the drawing styles, and each model object can have a different hatch.

so for a column cut or beam cut or concrete and if set up you can have different concrete object for each concrete element , base or concrete beam, or slab.

The approach is explained in the faq and is present in some country versions of drawing styles.

This seems to be my question. Have you don't any testing?

It appears that you can only change hatch styles based on different model objects. So you'd have to add as many model roles as you need that are for aluminum, and then dump these into a Model Object for aluminum. Then create a new hatch in the dethatch database that will be linked to a new Presentation Style where you set the hatch. 

I don't know what's going on under the hood, but it seems it would've been MUCH MUCH smarter to link hatches to material types. This is the kind of short-sightedness that I'm sure will make it's way into Revit Advance Steel (or whatever it will be called)
