Hatch Pattern for Mineral Wool?

[Neil Blanchard]

Hello DBUG'ers,

We are working on a building with rigid roof insulation, which we use
either Net or ANSI 37 at 45 degrees (so it is vertical and horizontal).

We have EIFS, which is EPS insulation, which we are using the Hex
pattern for.

We are also using fiberglass batts, and the usual insulation linetype
for that.


We are using a metal panel on part of the exterior, which has mineral
wool insulation, and I want to use a hatch pattern that is easily
differentiated, and that reads like mineral wool.

What hatch pattern do you use for mineral wool, or what would you suggest?

Neil,

I would think that the ANSI 37 at 0 degrees (diagonal) would work.
Depending on the plotting scale, using a Line Type like Undulate or
Wiggle might give the desired effect.

Neil,

I just use net, at 0 or 90 degrees, or aligned to sloping conditions, for all types of rigid insulation, hex at large scales for foam, but I like to use the RndmLite line for mineral wool in details, using a width that matches the thickness.  You might want to use RndmHevy for widths over 1 1/2".

Try it!

Best,

Mark

Thanks, I will try that.

For mineral wool or fiberglass batts and blankets, I just use the appropriate linetype. One line, with appropriate spacing. Like you are using.

Maybe use the same inside your panel? With a line that prints fine, to avoid the muck of clutter.

Note: I usually only indicate a PORTION of the fill. Almost never filling all a void. Filling a void fully on a working drawing is just clutter, which no one in the field wants or needs. A short stroke of insulation at one end is fine, or a small swatch of hatching.

Toward that end, one could simply DRAFT the desired look, for a short run or small swatch. If the same appears several times on a sheet, just copy and paste the drafted Group.

No need to make a special linetype or special hatch. Slap down a few lines and move on.

We ended up using the hatch pattern called Flex at a scale of 75.
