Free CAD and BIM blocks library - content for AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, Revit, Inventor, Fusion 360 and other 2D and 3D CAD applications by Autodesk. CAD blocks and files can be downloaded in the formats DWG, RFA, IPT, F3D. You can exchange useful blocks and symbols with other CAD and BIM users. These DWG files contain: Home Appliances CAD Blocks for AutoCAD 2007 and later versions. Kitchen appliances and other home appliances. The drawings in plan and elevation view for free download.

The problem here is that the hatch components you are modifying only display when the Wall is cut by the cut plane. I tried turning on the Surface Hatch component in the Material Definition applied to the out-of-the-box Wall Style for a casework counter top, but had no luck with that, either.
Download AutoCAD Hatch Patterns. After downloading: 1. Unzip the files. Add the.pat files to either acadiso.pat OR acad.pat. Create palette of hatch patterns. You’re ready to use Centurion Stone hatch patterns on your next project.

Generate automatically hatch patterns from your AutoCAD drawings

HGEN (V2006 upd 4/2005) is an ARX application for AutoCAD 2000/2000i/2002 or 2004/2005/2006 (or MAP or Mechanical/Architectural Desktop) by CAD Studio (former Xanadu). It converts your AutoCAD drawing to hatch pattern (.PAT definitions) so you can easily convert your logos, symbols or patterns to hatches which can be used in standard _HATCH or _BHATCH commands in AutoCAD (or Desktops) or in Autodesk Revit. Creating hatch patterns has never been easier.

System requirements

HGEN requires AutoCAD 2000/2000i/2002 or 2004/2005/2006 (or MAP or Mech/Arch/Land Desktop) running on Windows 2000/XP.

Usage

Take any of your existing drawings. Explode it to simple entities (if neccessary - e.g. uses blocks; you can explode any 2D entity to lines). HGEN can scale the source drawing and can approximate curved entities to lines (AutoCAD hatch pattern definitions do not support arcs by default). HGEN converts and writes selected entities of your drawing to a .PAT definition (you can even append to ACAD.PAT) which can be subsequently used in _HATCH or _BHATCH commands. All .PAT files generated by HGEN can be also used in Autodesk Revit as model or drafting patterns.

Please note that the resulting PAT patern file is written in the current directory by default - it may be necessary to move it to your AutoCAD support folder.

Known limitations

Currently only LINE, PLINE, LWPOLYLINE, SPLINE, ARC, ELLIPSE and CIRCLE entities are processed (everything can be converted to them)
Currently you have to specify the 'unit' square cell (doesn't need to be 1x1, HGEN supports rescaling)
Only the first 65500 selected entities are processed
