Hatch

Hatch Patterns

Create custom hatch patterns in Rhino or use the extensive built-in library.

Hatch: Create your own patterns

Create your own Hatch patterns using Rhino 2D geometry! Use lines, arcs, circles, curves and create custom hatches for project-specific needs. You no longer have to depend on external libraries or be limited to existing *.pat files.

Create Hatch Patterns

Hatch: Better access, more patterns!

Rhino’s Hatch definitions include new and complex patterns such as Concrete, Rattan, Rubble, and Stone. No need to struggle finding commonly used *.pat files to import!

Hatch: Edit your patterns

With an easy access to the Hatch Properties, modify all settings and see the preview on the fly!

Edit Hatch Patterns

Hatch: Deform and transform

Edit and deform your Hatch in Rhino with commands such as: Split, Taper, Untrim and Bend. Adapt your hatches to your geometry!

Transform Hatch Patterns

Hatch: In-viewport widgets

The new in-viewport widgets allow you to interact with the object’s Hatch visually. Place the base point and play with the rotation of your object directly in the viewport!
