How to create custom tile pattern

scullyQ8PP5 — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 19:20:31 GMT

I am trying to create a floor tile pattern that looks like the image attached. Is there a way to create this on Revit LT? I can't figure out how to draw a custom pattern.

Below is the code to add to a .pat file for you to use. I made the individual tiles be 200x400mm in size. I have also attached a visual showing how the differing numbers relate to the pattern.

;%UNITS=MM

*200mmx400mm Alternating,
;%TYPE=MODEL

0, 0,0, 0,600
0, 0,200, 0,600, 400,-400
0, 400,400, 0,600, 400,-400

90, 0,0, 0,400
90, 200,200, 0,800, 400,-200
90, 600,0, 0,800, 400,-200

Thank you so so much for the file!!! I tried to make it myself but was having lots of trouble. This worked perfectly! Have a great day!

rotation origin x,y offset x,y pen down, pen up

(90, 600,0, 0,800, 400,-200)

The most confusing thing with patterns is when you have rotated lines (green value), the origin numbers (red values) do not care about the rotation but the offset numbers do (blue values).

The X is always horizontal movement and the Y is always vertical movement for the ORIGIN but in the case of rotating 90 degrees the OFFSET X is now vertical and the OFFSET Y is now horizontal.
