Hatch Subgrade Areas
This command draws a hatch with a specified color and pattern for
the area that the selected subgrade area applies to. The purpose is
to allow you to visually review a subgrade area to make sure that
the area coverage is correct.
The command displays a dialog to select which subgrade to hatch.
The list of available subgrades comes from the layers with subgrade
depths as set in the Define Layer Target/Material/Subgrade command.
Then there is a dialog for the hatch pattern, color and scale. The
scale determines how spread out the pattern is within the hatch.
The Automatic Hatch Scale option checks the size of the subgrade
areas and sets the scale to make the pattern fit.
The resulting hatch areas show where the subgrade is applied. In
the example below, notice how the islands are not hatched because
they are curb polylines that are already inside another curb
polyline. Also note that the smaller pad area is not hatched
because this polyline layer is different than the bigger pad
polyline.
