The use of parametric software allows common attributes to be attached to a number of similar elements, so that, for example, all tiled areas in a building can be hatched in one command, and changes can be applied throughout. For example, a bathroom can be tile-filled by selecting the relevant hatching style to indicate tiles, and applying it to the whole tiled area of the drawing. Today, hatch commands can be used to fill a selected area or material with a standard hatching pattern almost instantly. Historically, hatches were drawn by hand, but the development of transfers, and then drawing software enabled considerable time savings on what was a very repetitive and time consuming task. Hatching can also be used as a form of shading - for example to indicate shadows. Hatching styles are patterns used on drawings for the easy identification and location of different types of commonly-used materials, objects and spaces. ![]() 4 Related articles on Designing Buildings.
