Hatched

Available for Bearing Envelopes, hatching is applied in 2D view only.

Hatching is applied based on the Top Elevation property according to the following:

• Bearings with the most common Top Elevation in the project (based on quantity of Bearing Envelope objects) do not receive hatching.
• A unique hatching pattern is applied to walls of varying Top Elevation properties.
• Hatching color is applied based on the Structural vs. Non-Structural property.
