problem with Hatch orientation

Anonymous

I can't understand why when editing a profile, I can set the orientation and the position of my insulation hatch and why do they get rotated and translated when see them thought a section of my model.

In the pict attached, i use 2 different options for each insulation hatch, but none gives the expected result


Is it an archicad bug?

I use the insulation library part for my sections.

Don't try to use a fill for your insulation. Cut fills are not intended for this application. The best practice that I know of is to do as Wrathchild suggests and use a library part.

Better still, use Oliver Detan's free insulation object (get it here http://pagesperso-orange.fr/archilib.od/index.html).

Thank for our replies, i'll have a look at this insulation library.

Concerning this strange behavior about hacthes, could it due ti the fact that my insulation hatch is a 'symbolic hacth' and not a 'vectorial hatch'?
