The plug-in Hatching reference objects in drawings (m160) is used to hatch objects from IFC reference models in drawings. 

When using the in Tekla Structures standard available tools, it is not possible to hatch IFC reference objects. Only the line representation can be modified. This plug-in gives the user the possibility to also hatch the IFC reference objects.
