Filling - Stripe Hatches

The stripe hatch filling draws an input slice stack geometry with parallel hatch lines in a stripe pattern of limited width. Only the contour geometry is used, while all input hatches are discarded.

Parameter Default Value Description
Hatch distance mandatory Distance of the hatch lines.
Stripe width mandatory Width of the stripe pattern.
Stripe gap 0 Gap between the stripes. A negative gap means that the stripes overlap.
Angle 0 Determines the angle of the hatch lines.
Angle increment 90 Determines how much the angle will be increased layer by layer.
Only each ... layer 1 Determines if only every n-th layer will be used.
Layer offset 0 If onlyeachlayer is larger than 1, there is ambiguity where the layer selection should start. A layer offset allows you to control the behavior, for example, use either each second layer, or each second-plus-one-th layer.
Origin increment 0 While hatching will parallel lines, there is an ambiguity, where the first line starts in perpendicular direction. Originincrement allows you to move the starting point of the hatch lines layer by layer.
Sort type none Defines how the fill hatches are sorted. Possible values are:
  • none - no specific resorting is performed
  • plusx - sort from left to right
  • minusx - sort from right to left
  • plusy - sort from bottom to top
  • minusy - sort from top to bottom
Rotation cone angle 360°
Alternating hatch cycles 1 Executes the filling pattern in n passes (up to 2), drawing odd lines first, even lines next.
Alternating hatch direction Yes
Stripe origin offset 0
Connect hatches No
Unidirectional hatching No Determines whether even and odd hatch lines should be drawn in the same direction.
Only each ... stripe 1 Determines if only every n-th stripe will be used.
Stripe offset 0 If Only each ... stripe is larger than 1, there is an ambiguity where the stripe selection should start. A stripe offset allows you to control the behavior, for example, use either each second stripe, or each second-plus-one-th stripe.
