      I recently ran across a post, I was so sure it was in this forum, where someone had provided a file containing hatch styles very stimilar to those used in AutoCAD. The post included an image that contained thumbnails of dozens of such hatch styles.

      I have spent hours now, it seem like, searching both this forum and the overall SCF with no luck. "Hatch" and "AutoCAD" strike out, although I have found other interesting stuff. I recall someone thanking the poster for a generous contribution, but searching on "generous" and "generosity" have not been successful.

      It was not necessarily a recent post and I don't recall what I was doing or looking for when I discovered it so I have not been able to get there again.

      Does anyone recall anything similar to what I am describing?

      Thanks,

        Hi August,

        There is a "sticky" at the top of this forum with about 2 million links (mind boggling)to free texture sites, which I glanced through but could not find anything. The quickest solution was to go to "Form Fonts" I found a set of hatches that I think are what you are looking for. There is a small subscription fee to FF but well worth the time it saves. I have attached a sceen capture of some of the textures I found there. Hope this helps you.

          Thanks Jim,

          That is very much like I remember finding, only the thumbnails were much smaller in the image attached to the post, there were more of them, and I'm still pretty sure it was a file posted here, not a link to another source. I could be wrong. I appreciate your trying to help.

            It happens often enough that my wife refers to it as a "magic spell". It's the "Where's my -- Here it is!" spell.

            The moment I wrote that I might have tweaked something in my memory, I remembered the last time I was stumped at finding something I had see just so recently. That time it was, as I remembered, a post by Gaieus, but in the Google Group, not the SCF. In this current case, the attached image had me convinced that it was here, because attached images are relatively rare in the Google group because you can't do it from the normal Web interface. But I was mistaken. Here's the link to the post from May 2003, six years ago but still relevant:

            http://groups.google.com/group/sketchup-materials-components-styles/browse_thread/thread/7c0e443fcdb72bd4/e1045aec3d29ac3b

            This is the thumbnail in that post. Note that some of these are clipped enough that these images won't tile. There is also a ZIP file in that thread. I'll make you go over there to get it to preserve credit to the original poster, Jim.

            I hope this helps,

                  Oli, you should be able to extract the folder called Hatch directly to the Materials folder under Libraries/Application Support/Google SketchUp... I did that from memory so the order of that may be wrong.

                          Thanks for posting that. It doesn't help directly for SketchUp though. Now we need a way to convert .PAT files to .SKM.

                              TIG's 2D Tools already has hatch images in JPG form. Are you hinting that it can convert the PAT files in Piyanan's ZIP file?

                                My hatching tool takes any .JPG you put in 2D's Hatching folder and makes it into a new Material - you can then export these from a Model as .SKM files if needed...

                                The .PAT files posted are just special format text files instructing AutoCAD how to draw the bits of lines to make the pattern. You need to use these in CAD as Hatching then, export a .JPG 'web-format' plot and edit that JPG so that it can be used as a tile-able iamge via 2D Hatching...
