Surface Hatching
Surface hatches can display in both model views and section/elevation views.
Placement and orientation of the hatch can be precisely controlled and
specified for each object face individually.
For detailed information about surface hatches, see Working with Surface
Hatches on page 890.
Mass Element and Mass Group Display Components and
Materials
A mass element or a mass group consists of a number of display components
that can be determined by materials.
Workflow
You assign one material to each display component of the mass element or
mass group. For example, you assign a dark wood material to the mass element
body and a light brown material to the mass element hatch. When you assign
a material to a mass group, the display properties of the attached mass elements
are overridden with the mass group settings.
If you want to use the display properties of the mass element instead of the
material display properties, you can deactivate the material assignments in
the display properties of the mass element.
Display Representations
The display properties of an object are specified for each display representation
individually. Mass elements and mass groups have display representations for
plan, model, reflected, and sketch views. You can create new display
representations for mass elements and mass groups by copying an existing
representation. For example, you can create a new display representation “Plan
1:25” to create a plan view optimized for display in a view scaled to 1:25. This
new display representation has the same display components as the one from
which it was copied. The copied components will be influenced by the same
material components as the original components.
Material Component Assignments
Material definitions consist of display components that correspond to
component types of objects. For example, the Linework component of a
material is used for all linework in Plan view. The Surface Hatch component
