Cross Hatching In Rooms

[ARBDESIGN]

How do I extend to cross hatching lines in a room (to represent floor tiling) so the lines near the door all finish in a straight line and join into an under door metal strip that runs from one jamb stile to the other jamb stile. I am finding when I hatch the room the lines near the door stop short and are not in a straight line. Look forward to hearing your replies. Thanks

Can you post a picture of your problem?

Here is a basic drawing with hatching. Notice hatching doesn't continue out to edge of door. How can this be modified to look right on plan view?

Recognize that the hatching is part of the 'room specification' - thus it stops at the wall/doorway because these define the edges of the room. This behavior is what I would expect to happen. Maybe a more experienced CA user has an automatic fix, I do not. If you really want the doorways filled in plan view, you can always draw CAD lines to extend the hatching.

You can't fix this automatically.

I usually resort to a hatched poly line for the whole room instead of using the auto room hatch.

Hatched polyline worked really well. Thanks Glenn. Great to hear from another user in Australia?

Just in case you didn't know Glen knows everything, you can count on his advice every time.
