Hello, one question, is there any way to recreate boundary of a hatch.

I need it for this: pavements areas.

I export the 3d civil corridor plan to cad and I have several hatchs that do not show the area properties.

You can use Hatchgenerateboundary command for all hatches at once and it will create a boundary for every hatch selected.
