      Can one create/design a pattern fill for a SU model?

      I'm printing a book in black and white and I need hatching of water - waves. Not too realistic, rather symbolic. It seems, form what I've seen, one can only design and use a new pattern fill in LayOut. i don't use LO too much.

        You can basically use any image as a material in Sketchup, even a transparent png.
        So you could use Tigs Section cut face and add a hand drawn transparent hatch to that if you want.

          Is it to fill a section cut or just geometry?

            You asked the question 'over there' after we had both replied to you here.
            I have now replied to you 'over there' and will add the related gif here.
            The context menu offscreen is Explode.
