waves and water are under custom in bhatch. You have to play with the scale to get it to look like waves, but it's very cool.

I did it one time for a client. A pipeline company didn't want to pay for the right-of-way, so my client, an attorney, told me to design a subdivision that would front a lake that hadn't been built yet and show the lake.

Before it was all over with, I had calculated the lake from some contour elevation and designed a 100 lot subdivision with roads and curves and everything else. It was very cool, but I used the hatch for the lake. Also, since I had the proposed route of the pipeline, I made it impact as many lots as possible. Took them down to the state minimum for lots (0.5 acres for septic) and made the lots almost as wide as the 100' strip the pipeline company was going to take.

The pipeline company paid off like a slot machine.

I just use a solid hatch, in a pale blue. Screen the color so it only plots at about 10%. looks like water to me.

I still use black and white! My CAD program is obsolete and unsupported. 🙁

Jeez, you get to print your plats in color? Sigh. I wish we still had blueline machines. It seemed to me that the blueline reproduction was of a very high resolution and the color was far superior to B & W.

And now to make things worse, while typing this lament, it seems that the word editor I'm using doesn't even recognize the word "blueprint".
