      ..It is possible to offer your plugin as a free download because I look for centuries to find a good insulation hatch...

      If you're just looking for the hatch, I attached the skp file.

        Thank you very much, I don't know how to make a texture from the file and the most important thing is that I want the texture to automatically fit on a surface, when applied.
        That's the reason why I (and possible, others like me) hope to kindly share this plugin with us maybe in the future, if not, we're out of luck.(even with that nasty 😑 bugs)

          the thing is: this is a plugin that doesn't use textures but uses real edges(lines) instead. If you want a solution that uses textures you have to look elsewhere (Skalp for instance)

                Nice going there, a few questions:

                • are the hatches editable once applied?
                • can one "explode" the hatch/fill to the surface to have it intersect the surface (thinking of quick flagstone, and the like, creation)?

                Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

                  @JuJu:

                  1. the hatches are just grouped lines / edges. They have no special properties so you can do with them whatever you like.
                  2. yes, you can explode them and use them as a cookie-cutter to cut a face. Although, if the pattern is very complex, it doesn't always go right and Sketchup needs some re-tracing some of the edges but I did use it to cut and color a mosaic floor for instance (see image).

                          Hi Kaas, Great plugin, really, really useful - I really hope you're able to make a SU 8 version.

                            Would it be an improvement to save the hatching element as a component rather than a group so that the file size is smaller?

                              I didn't go that route with this version because the plugin was initially made from a hatching-sections point of view. That involves lots of cutting of the hatches after the copy process so a lot of the components would have to be exploded.

                              I do see the benefits using components for 2d elements that wouldn't have to be cut. Stuff like: cars, trees, furniture, plants etc etc. Someone also suggested if it could be done with glue/cut-components. I will have a look if this can be implemented.

                                I do like the idea of using this as a component or block library. I always have found then native component window clunky for setting up my libraries

                                    Looks like over a years worth of non activity. Any further progress? Looks like a very useful concept. Is it downloadable?

                                      I stopped development in feb 2015 (see my 'edit' in the original post). Maybe at some point I will pick it up again (with the help of a proper coder) - it was my first ruby plugin and needs a complete overhaul. At that point it would be a payed plugin so the current code is not downloadable.

                                        Hi, after 6 years still not found another good real line hatches solution.
                                        May I ask if there's any progress with your plugin? When you estimate we can buy it?
