is it just me or does anybody else also think that the fill pattern feature sucks?
when selecting a face to pattern on it with internal boundary (void island/pocket), this feature just ignores the internal boundary, and overrides it with instances without respecting the "margins distance" setting!
That indeed both sucks and is inconsistent. However, there is an easy workaround: create a sketch on the face, select the edges of your pockets and click convert entities. Then edit the Fill Pattern and add the sketch to the Fill Boundary selection box and voilá, problem solved.
Hope this helps!
