Hey 🙂

Can you maybe attach a rough sketch of how you want it to look? i'm not sure exactly how you want to out it at an angle. just wanna make sure that I give you correct answers (in case I am able to 😉 )

Best regards

In this way.

I can't rotate the pat, right?

I did an in place family extrusion, but i am not sure if this is what you were looking for 🙂

I'm sorry if i misunderstood your request. Please let me know if I did 🙂

@fred2193 thank's for your time.

I put architecture column and seems ok but don't know if is the right way to draw.

After I put a vertical pat to seem the same texture (fisrt and second pic).

I ask also an other question: the frame between stone and white wall (pic 3).

updated .rvt file attached.

Did I understand correctly that you want the pattern rotated on the architectural column?
Because you can to rotate a model pattern on a column, however you would have to do that within the column family. And if it's not there already transfer the material to your column family...

I have used hatchkit to rotate a duplicate of the pattern.

Let me know if it works in the attatched file

Hatchkit is free to download from the autodesk appstore, and allows you to rotate fill patterns very easily 🙂

"Because you can to rotate a model pattern on a column, however you would have to do that within the column family. And if it's not there already transfer the material to your column family..."

If I undrestand I have to go in family and edit. But the material is not editable.

@fred2193 thank's very much!

But you do this?

i know there's not duplicate command. If I go in pat the previous is replace, not duplicate.

But at the begin you do put column as me or extrude something as you sayed before?

Thank's

When you choose fill pattern for a material, you can duplicate the fill pattern. name the new duplicated shingle pattern the desired name. after you have duplicated the pattern that needs to be rotated, open hatchkit and it should show in the browser, and from there you can rotate the pattern. then you should have two shingle patterns, one horisontal, and one vertical.

What i did was make an in place family as an extrusion (it was just a quick way to manually draw a corner profile inside the project

hope it makes sense:)

@fred2193 to this say something?

@AnonymousFYI The material was not editable there directly because it is controlled through a parameter in the family. If you click the small box (right there next to your red line box in your image) you can select which parameter this is or set this to none. You don't want to change it though. You just have to edit the material parameter in the "Family types". You can find it under create -> under properties -> family types (it is the symbol with the four boxes). Your material will be under Materials and Finishes. That said... creating a rotated pattern might be easier for you in this case. Is it joined geometry?
