Lock 3D vectorial hatching

Anonymous · ‎2009-05-23

Hello,
Is there any way to lock the position of a 3D vectorial hatch pattern
relative to the edges of the element that has the hatch pattern asigned
to it's surface ? I have a simple wall with a brick running bond vectorial
hatch pattern on it's surface and that pattern has been aligned with
the vertical edges so that the wall is exactly so many bricks wide.
If I move the wall the hatch pattern no longer aligns with the vertical
edges of the wall. I need some way to lock the pattern so it stays
aligned to the edges of the element.
Thank you,
Peter Devlin

… and now I have no idea what we are trying to prove, fix, clear up or complain about.

This happens to me all the time! Is it my age? Alzheimer's?

Hello Link,
You are right about the display of the fill pattern is dependent
on the direction the wall is drawn. I drew two walls one drawn
left to right and the other drawn right to left and set one behind
the other and I am delighted that I could finally reproduce
the "Link effect". I could not see this with a running bond fill
because it was a repeating pattern. Thank you for pointing
this out to me. It is good thing to know. Please see attached.
