How is Screed normally represented on Detail Drawings?

    In a detail drawing, how is screed normally represented. A book of detail drawings I have shows it as a tight cross hatch, which is what I've used in the past, but I've since learned, that the book sometimes uses different representations to typical practice.

    Also, does anyone have a link to somewhere showing all the different types of hatching normally used for different materials?

    The material hatch doesnt really matter as long as it is labeled. Different people use different hatches for different things. I would only use Batt hatch for mineral fibre insulation and cross hatch rigid insulation while others use it for all insulation.

    Screed would just be dotted to me.

    Same as that. Concrete with dots and triangles.

    For Screeds and plaster/ renders I use the sand (dots)hatch. For structural concrete i use the conc (triangles with dots) hatch.

    Ditto.

    I have seen some alternative hatches used on engineering drawings over the years but on any architectural ones its always been the sand and/or concrete hatch patterns used.
