You want two 'solid bodies' that share some common volume or
have coincident faces? No can do. Will quilts work?
 
I'm having trouble (I'm slow) understanding. Disjoint bodies?
Or sharing a volume with different hatch for each body and the
common volume? Maybe a pic or further explanation? (Not that
I have an offhand answer...)
 
We have a concrete tank with grout in it and we want to show the grout as a separate solid. It would be like modeling a cake and you want the frosting to be a separate solid.
 
Ah! Ok. I think I would (lacking a better suggestion and assuming
I wanted, not that I would, to do everything in a single part vs.
an assembly) model the tank segments and grout as disjoint solids.
Having never done so I'm guessing that getting two hatch patterns,
concrete and grout, may be a problem. I'd have to experiment to
find a workaround, if exist. Maybe someone else can give us a
hand with that.
