Thank you very much for your kind suggestion, but unfortunately, I don't believe that will work.  I was just using the circles as a basic example.  

In AudoCAD, from what I think I remember (sorry, long time ago), a layer with a hatch pattern placed over another layer with its own hatch pattern, completely covers the hatch pattern below.

Here is a better example below of what I am trying to do versus the circles.  When I lay the walls over the foundation, I need the hatch pattern of the walls (layer 2) to completely "cover" the hatch pattern of the foundation (layer 1).

For construction plans I need to print various versions of different layers and I don't want to trim the foundation hatch pattern under the walls because if I later turn off the walls (layer 2) then the hatch pattern of the foundation does not cover the full foundation.

I will say that I realize I could create another layer of the foundation hatch pattern trimmed under the walls and turn that on/off as needed, but I was hoping the experts in LibreCAD had a more elegant solution.
