- In this video, learn 3 different ways to create hatch patterns in your plans in Layout! Using the SketchUp model we've developed over the last couple layout tutorials, now we'll use our views to generate hatch patterns in our walls in our Layout documents.

One of the biggest questions I’ve received since starting to work with Layout is how to create wall hatching or shading.
In this video, I’ll teach you three different ways to create wall hatching in Layout.
The first, and probably the most simple, is to simply trace a hatch pattern fill onto your walls in Layout itself. Layout has a series of built-in patterns that you can use in your models. However, this isn’t like applying a material in SketchUp - you’ll actually have to select a pattern in the shape style section, then trace a shape onto your model.
You’ll also want to make sure to put these hatches on their own layer so you can turn them on and off if you decide to do it this way. The nice thing about this is that it gives you more control over your hatching, but it also creates problems. For example, this hatching isn’t dynamic, meaning if you move things around in your model, you’re going to have to re-trace your hatching.
Another way to do this is to apply a material to the back side of your walls. This would be done inside SketchUp, then you’d have to create a new style that shows materials. You could then adjust your hatch sizing using the material editor. This is a good solution, but it means you’d have to keep up with painting the back sides of your walls as you create them.
The final way to do this is a method created by Michael Brightman, and it’s a pretty clever way to do this. What you’re going to do is use a watermark to create a wall hatch. The way this works is you’re going to go find a hatch image. I searched Google for an image that would work. Basically, it’s an image of diagonal black lines on a white background.
We’re going to create a new style to use for this, so go into the styles section, select the style that you want to use as a base, then click the plus button to create a new style.
Now, go into the watermarks section and click the plus button. Navigate to the image you downloaded and select it. Now it’s going to ask you if you want to use this as an overlay or as a background. We’re going to select overlay. If you look at this, what it’s going to do is overlay this image over your whole model. You’re going to want to select the box for “create mask.” Create mask will basically “mask” your model so that wherever the colored parts of your image exist, they’ll cover the dark parts of your model.
Finally, you’re going to go in and set your faces so that they’re black. This way, your hatch pattern mask will create a hatched effect in your walls.

Hey Man, just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your content; almost everytime I google a problem, one of your tutorials pops up. They have been absolute life savers.
Keep up the great work!
This was a great video. I will be applying these techniques asap! Thanks again.
Thanks Charles! Glad you liked it!
Your tutorials helps me a lot in my presentations. Thanks man. Godspeed to you.
Thanks very much - glad you're finding them helpful!
Neat! great one...
Hi Oscar - thanks a lot!
A simple way of getting walls to appear coloured in Layout (to show difference between new and existing construction for eg) is to just apply a colour to the inside face of the slab below the wall in Sketchup. If you are just showing a wall (and no slab) then just paint the inside of the base face of the wall.
Excellent
Thanks for watching!
Wow, I didn't know hown many ways there are :) Thank You again! And just a small question.
How is the first way profitable in the case of not a large models based on your experience, cause I think my model shouldn't change so often. Or does you recommend to use the model related way initially regardless the model? Thanks a lot once again
I guess it all depends on what your client wants or whom your drawing for. i have done just straight up 2D drawings in SUpro from top down. Then i can just use the paint bucket to do hatch patterns. Only downfall, if someone wants 3D renders of the space you are creating for them, then aforementioned will not work haha. Luckily with 2018, we can at least set a fill color
To avoid the image moving when duplicating it, select the image, copy then paste and it will duplicate on top, then assign the new one to a different layer.
If you just select duplicate it will always offset the image.
Yeah that's what I recommend in my newer Layout tutorials - this one's pretty old
Thats great ,how do you change the color of the hatch pattern, in can change the bounding box but not the pattern inside?????
Justin; Here is a question using layout. How can you apply a hatch pattern to a Pipe Section example 4" OD Pipe with .318" Wall Thickness. From what I can find the pattern on circles is the full circle only.
Hi, Your videos are really helpful. I tried to use this hatch method and one think I notice is that the background of the hatch is not transparent in Layout. This will be an issue if we want to have more than one hatch pattern in a drawing, e.g. one pattern for brick wall and another for structural wall.
The hatch only loads on a raster layer, so that needs to be your base layer that you stack lines on top of
I guess that hatch isn't a good option because it works only if you have one material. Most I have 4 or 5 differnet materials on a model. There must be an better option to make this efficent. In Version 2018 you must adjust section fill off. Why isnt there an option like in other CAD programm. If I define a wall from wood or brick it must show me the hatch in sketchup as well as in layout.
Are you talking about having different kinds of walls made of different materials? Likely what you'd have to do in that case is just group them differently (group for masonry, group for drywall, etc), then you could create your hatch with the watermark method and bring the different wall materials in as different layers. You might also be able to use this extension to get what you're looking for - ruclips.net/video/Q9jFZiPModc/видео.html - sorry I don't have more info for you - thanks!
The back of the wall is not the bottom of the wall.
Hmmm...accurate statement - it's actually applied to the plane at the bottom of the wall - poor word choice on my part
@@Thesketchupessentials nice videos!
I'm trying to do something different and follow entirely The Sketchup Workflow for Architecture by Mike Brightman and that video: ruclips.net/video/drjxp6LgJgI/видео.html
However, when I render Light view as Hybrid i still see the background which I don't want to see. Brightman's background is transparent so he basically has no background (7:36). I suppose it might me something messed up with layers or styles but I have no clue where to exactly look for that...
Hi Arek - I talked about that a bit in this video - ruclips.net/video/aXS7D6lqusk/видео.html - about 17:40 - you need to make sure to uncheck the box for "Backgrounds" in the styles section in Layout - does that help? Thanks!
TheSketchUpEssentials yeah, I asked my question a couple of hours before you uploaded that layout tutorial :)
But thank you anyway for your reply, you take real care of your subscribers! you're the man, Justin!
By the way, I have some other questions about layout and what is obvious, there will be more of them as I keep exploring it. Is there anyway chance to contact you directly? email preferably, or facebook or even patreon? Who knows, maybe these questions will inspire you to create some videos so that more people could benefit from it :)
Email is fine, Patreon works too. Feel free to send over what you've got - worst case, I'll just tell you I don't know :p Thanks!
is it too much to ask to just have a bucket function which also dynamicly updates with you model, i guess yes 😢
Wwhhatts up guys.. so annoying. Very good otherwise.
Well...I suppose it is what it is :)
