How BEST to Apply Hatch Patterns for LayOut

- Applying hatches can be tricky depending on your model's organization and complexity. But don't worry as Eric will walk you through a few different ways to expertly and easily apply hatches in both SketchUp and LayOut.

This only works in MAC users... Windows users doesn't have this option of textures on Tags (Pro 2021)
Wow, thanks Eric you have no idea how long I've been trying to achieve this for some of my layouts plans without success. This is so simple I can't beleive how easy you made it.
That's what I'm here for ;)...thanks for the feedback Keggy!
I was looking for your garage remodel to learn about color-by-tag. Couldn't find that one but here you go again! Many thanks!👍
I am old school and still draw a 2d plan for every project and then I build the model over the 2d plan. So it's easy for me to apply hatches. All hatches should be done in SketchUp so when you move or scale the plan in Layout, there is no weirdness.
Yes. Good call Tony. Thanks for sharing your experience.
The problem is that textures in Sketchup are raster and not vector. So they always look low quality. When will Sketchup add support for .svg or .eps as an image type?

You are right to attempt to apply hatches to surfaces in SU. However, I've never found textures via SU to be good for CAD quality hatch. The quality of a raster image is not great or easily modified. LO needs a "flood" tool to flood a surface with a pattern, or a method to recognize and apply a LO pattern to a SU surface. Hatches need to be scalable, with adjustable lineweight, origin, rotation, and color for acceptable CAD graphics. And they need to export as crisp vector images. Hatches need to be easily sampled and applied to other objects (surfaces) in the drawing. LO also needs to provide standard CAD hatches as well as a ways to create hatches from linework, or even raster images. I can easily make a pattern of (for example) an image of tile from the internet, and apply it in CAD, being much more easily manipulated, looking way better, and working way faster than SU.
amen
hatch on a section fill, thats what i needed most
layOut is great when you know how to use it. i hatch by tag like you did. what i like the most about layout is axonometrique diagrammes using multiple sketchup file
Thanks Eric, I am trying to achieve "color by tag" trick on Windows computer... and when trying to edit color it doesn't work. is it System related?
I believe this process for replacing the tag color with a material is different on a PC, rather than a Mac?
Really helpfull Eric.🙌
This is a really good one, thanks 🙏
Scale is always good to apply. Good for when you forward your documents. It provides a standard for the engineers & other project teams to work with.
For a reflected ceiling plan, apply hatches in layout would be easier tho, right?
I know sometimes engineers ask for those.
If it's a simple rectangular plan it could be easy enough as a hatch shape in LayOut. If there are fixtures, or a specific stacking order, complex shapes, then the SketchUp Color-By-Tag way would work as long as your ceiling is on its own tag.
Is this feature only available on MAC? When I click on the tab colour it doesn't seem to have an option to apply hatch, only texture.
I coukd probably find a texture which has a hatch pattern, but I can not acces the material folder the way you do.
Or am I missing something?
Thank you.
i also use fog in skechup to make the hatch fad a litlle bit and sometimes i use plan with a good amount of opacity to have the same effect.
Agreed. Fog is great to call attention to stuff. You just gave me an idea for future video ;)
The problem with the hatch by tag is the lake of control over rotation and mouvement of the texture sometimes it work but sometimes it just don’t
Very cool, very useful.
Thanks for share.
It might be nice if there is a way for SU to save applied materials with scenes or maybe a way to switch between multiple material sets.
Thanks Eric!
Yeah I hear ya. Styles and Tags spplied to scenes are the best way we have. You can however paint the outside of a Component two different materials...then tag each and toggle visibility on/off via scenes. That would allow for material options without using Color-by-tag override.
@@ericsargeant3254 Yes I know, but this just me trying to sound smart😎
Read the rest of this comment at your own risk 😁
Imagine that I have a piece of furniture and I like to present it to a customer using multiple types of fabrics or other materials, Yes I can make multiple copy and apply different materials on them but that will create unnecessary geometries especially if this piece is a part of a bigger model (room for example).
Finally, I know it's not an easy task to develop but I think if we have a map of materials we used inside a model we can simply change what is referenced to (another set of materials).
Thanks Eric! See you at tomorrow's live stream👍
I have PC as well. I managed to come with a hatch solution up until the SKP part, by creating a hatch from a third party web app and selecting the image in the TAG section. I worked. However, once in Layout, when I render the scene, it doesn´t reveal the image, thus the hatch. To test, instead of the image, I set a color to the TAG anda it workded..Figuring out why it doens´t with the image..
Is this only for MAC users? I try this, I cant find it on Windows.
How would you do this in Windows
I am so depressed...I have a PC and all so this doesn't work...
