JMorelli Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Hi all Just wondering if anyone knows how to create the fill pattern used in the 'area of cut' shown in the attached plan. I had a go in photoshop but had no success. It's a bit outside my area of expertise Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmejerry Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 A closed polyline with a fill could show it. Do you want any fill pattern or something like the swirls on the picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm specifically wanting to recreate the 'zigzag' pattern shown in the cut area. There's nothing in the chief library that replicates it and I've hunted around on a few websites that have fill patterns but can't find what I want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I don't think that you will find a pattern that adapts to the perimeter shape as per your pic. Patterns are regularly repeating and as such are uniform in the area they fill. There is the Insulation box, but you can't edit the enclosing box to other than a rectangle. You could use the Spline tool to draw it manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
