    Hello all, I'm having an issue in a project where the hatch pattern isn't always in a predictable direction. I tried replicating in a test file and I think I found where it is going wrong. I always use a number of nested design models. Usually one…

    In the Drawing Rules Manager dialog you're showing the level for the Edge graphic type. What is Centerline set to? Also, what happens if you calculate the same extraction without any drawing rules?

    Your options for getting plans, sections, etc. from the models are Drawing Extraction Manager (DEM) and Dynamic Views (DVs). The Floor Manager can assist in both cases. The Floor Manager is a utility for defining "levels" in your project, for example…

    The only workaround I can think of would be to reference the extraction models into a separate DGN file and perform the clipping there. That way you can recalculate as needed.
