Smart hatching in gCADPlus software

Summary: This video demonstrates how to use gCADPlus to cleanly hatch an area—specifically a garden bed—using the smart hatch tool, while also correcting issues left by a previous designer. Key steps include: Optimising object snap settings (e.g., endpoint, intersection, nearest) to make polyline drawing more precise. Manually drawing a polyline around the garden bed using red for visibility, but ultimately opting for a faster method: the smart hatch tool. Identifying messy or poorly drawn areas in inherited designs and correcting them by editing vertices or deleting and redrawing sections. Using the hatch tool to apply a solid fill, then adjusting the draw order to bring the polyline forward for further editing. Changing the fill and boundary colours to more meaningful tones (e.g., a soft brown for soil or Corten steel for edging). Setting the lineweight and enabling lineweight display provides a stronger visual definition to elements like edging. Verifying the final design in layout view to ensure a clean presentation. Managing layer visibility (e.g., turning off the “garden beds” layer) to check progress and prepare for the next phase: plant list creation and automated plant schedule generation. The video emphasises clarity, accuracy, and taking advantage of gCADPlus’s smart tools for efficient editing and presentation.
