Best practice for tile-patterns in dynamic views: on drawing, design model or geometric map?

As the title says: where is the best place to draw a tile-pattern?

I've seen that in the dataset-building-example it's drawn in the 3D-model, but is this the best place to draw this with a dynamic-view setup?

I've also noticed that when i want to draw an 'associative pattern', this gets filled (fill:none, also tried 'hole' without effect) and fill follows the pattern-color, so I can't see the lines in the dynamic generated drawing (unless I choose the wireframe-view, but this is not always an option I guess). When I put the pattern non-associative (as in the dataset-building-example...) I can see the lines, but this is very unproductive in my eyes when I need to change the pattern-area.

I also was thinking about geometric maps, but this seems a bit unflexible on first sight, no?
