Proposing an expansion of the hatching patterns available in the Fusion360 drawing space, specifically in section views. I use fusion360 for woodworking models that are sent to architects and builders for final approval. Not only does having the proper material appearance increase the readability of plans, but also a higher degree of professionalism that could be offered through Fusion360.
For example, when modeling the construction around a custom window or door it is important to show a section view. But only the ANSI 31-38 hatching patterns are available in Fusion360 currently (this does not include concrete, wood, or many other basic building material patterns.) It would be great to be able to designate a broad range of building materials in a fusion360 drawing when the full capabilities of REVIT are not needed.
This process could even be streamlined in instances that you have already designated a physical material to part of your model. The section view could register that material specification and apply the proper hatching pattern for those bodies or components.
