      @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).

                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?
