Hatch (CAD Hatching)
A hatch is a repeating fill pattern applied to a CAD drawing to indicate material or cross-section — brick, concrete, insulation — on top of the underlying linework.
Hatching is what separates our Level 1 Linework Survey from Level 2 Dimensioned & Hatched — the same linework, with material fills and dimensions completed on top.
