Line Textures for Elevations etc in LO
-
**While I am experienced with SU, I am new to LO.
The fact is, I am having great difficulty with it overall but I hope with practice I will find it to be much easier to use. At this point, I only wish there was more control over viewing Modes and Styles and Layers in LO as there is in SU, but independent from SU.Anyway, I am currently working on Construction Docs for a project that MUST be completed today. Unfortunately, I have No Idea how to Texture Elevations etc with things like Steel Siding, Masonry Block, Concrete etc.
Are there any textures that can be painted in LO ? OR does anyone have any B&W Line Textures for using SU that will show in LO ?
I cannot import Color Images/Views because they require too much Ink, even when printed as B&W.
SO I'm curious what others do for typical/conventional looking plans, elevations and details as far as Line Textures go ?
Anyone got anything like that and/or Section Details etc to share ?Thanks in Advance.

Ouch. How did you get in that predicament!
How about http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=38637#p341461. Granted it is a new thing to learn right-off and it is BETA.
Can you find textures that are not too dense or dark when you print in grayscale? If you have time, all textures can be lightened using the materials browser (probably fastest), even edited in your pixel editor.
I don't know if this is a method people use in layout. Textures are easier to apply in SU--as that is where your faces are. Look in the "construction drawings" thread. ( I don't think it is a sticky but should be).
