hmmm...so this is an experiment, i'm curious how it'll work out.
I've written a routine for creating revit hatch patterns (.pat) from within Revit.
Please let me know of any problems, suggestions, etc. (comments link)

I'm creating a video tutorial based on your slate pattern. Until then, this is a repeat pattern that will work for you.
Please note that you need to download the newer version (c).

Dear Mertens3d,
Thanks for your help, but I still confuse about the way to create this pattern hatch, hear my steps :
01. drawing detail line as you see in my revit file,
02. Go to add-in -->merten3d-->hatch22
03.push mouse in Make Subcategories, but I can't see any thins change
04. push Make hatch From selection, and an alarm appear: " at least 2 boundary are requires. Please draw all lines as detail lines
Please show me, thanks for your help

re: http://mertens3d.com/revit-2011-addin-portal/hatch22/
i've refined the help file.
"Make Subcategories" --> I've added some feedback on my routine (it'll show up on the next build).
re: step 3 of the help file
If you look at the linestyles in your revit file you'll see that 3 hatch22 lines styles were created.
re: step 4.
You need to assign one of the three hatch22 linestyles to each of your lines.
Make sense?
