I have drawn a cross section of a metallic object in 2D. I wanted to represent the solid metal different than the background in slanted lines like I have shown in figure. In addition to this, what is a general norm for representing a cross section?Sketch1

PS: i am using Make 2017

the simplest solution would be using a texture for this.
