How to hatch diagonal lines in Illustrator?

I want to make a ground level indication, but I dont know how to do it.

Apply a pattern fill. There are various of them included with AI. Just open the respective additional swatch library. To rotate them, use the rotate tool's panel dialog and chose to only transform the fill, not the object.

Thanks for the information. I am wondering which swatch library I have to use.. I cant find one that seems suitable for line hatches.

Patterns --> Basic?! Works for me. If you need the hatching to be according to DIN, ISO or local construction rules, you may need to adjust it or build your own ones, though.

Ok it works now.

Thanks

I have the similar question. I export a rhino linework to the illustrator, and I want to hatch some part of the line work. all the lines are touching each other but the hatching doesn't fill up the whole area. What should I do?

Which version of Illustrator are you using?

Can you show some screenshots that illustrate your request?

How to "apply a pattern fill" ? How to "use the rotate tool's panel dialog"? Where is it? This answer is useless because it says the things I want to do but not how exactly how to do them.
