The fill angle is set to 0. Fix: In Fill Manager , select the Vectorial Fill. Look for the Parameters section. Change the Angle from 0 to 90 (or whatever rotation you need). Alternatively, in the 3D window, you can rotate the texture to match the wall orientation.
Complex hatches with small dots or irregular blobs work best. Create a low‑contrast grey pattern so it doesn’t overpower the building footprint.
For complex hatches, you need a (same format as AutoCAD). You can:
In Archicad, hatch refers to a graphical representation of a material or texture applied to a surface or object. Hatches can be used to add visual interest, indicate different materials, or simply to enhance the overall aesthetic of a design. Archicad offers a vast library of pre-defined hatches, ranging from simple geometric patterns to complex textures and images. Users can also create their own custom hatches using a variety of techniques, including importing images or using the software's built-in hatch creation tools.
Mastering the (or Fill) is not just about making your drawings look pretty; it is about communication. The right concrete hatch tells a builder where to pour; the right insulation hatch tells an engineer where to insulate.
Over the next week, he reused the hatch in elevation fills, adjusting rotation to follow the slope of stairs and stretching it slightly for a bold visual rhythm down the corridor. The team noticed how a small, carefully drawn hatch could influence material choices, lighting decisions, even furniture layout.
