To select an existing polyline, use the pickbox to select a closed polyline area to hatch. Placing a Hatch: OverviewĪfter you select a hatch to place, the cursor will turn into a pickbox, and the Command line will prompt you to Select polyline or interior point to hatch. However, the steps below for placing hatches apply loosely to placing any hatch within the Land F/X system.

When you place one of our smart hatch types, you may see a few extra options in the Command line specific to placing that particular smart object.

Concept Groundcovers & Shrub Areas: Concept Plants provide a way to create a more generalized version of a planting plan while expressing the conceptual intent of the design and plant palette.

Area & Volume Reference Notes (RefNotes): Use RefNotes if you want to place a hatch representing bark, gravel, mulch, or another quantifiable site object with data attached.

Hatches are ideal for representing smart objects in your drawings that need to be placed as contiguous areas rather than individual objects – for example, groundcovers and hardscaping areas. Placing Smart Hatches (Planting, Site, Irrigation) Our hatch library includes several hatch patterns designed specifically for building your details. Our generic site hatching tool provides a quick way to place a hatch if you need to create a site area consisting of mulch, concrete, or hardscaping materials such as pavers, but don't necessarily need to assign that area with data (such as per-unit cost). Want information on customizing hatch patterns? See our documentation on Hatch Patterns and Saving a Hatch. Find out how to put our hatching system to work for you. Whether you need to place a large area with data attached to it (such as a planting, hardscaping, or irrigation area), or just a generic region in your drawing represented by a specific pattern, hatches play a vital role in our software.
