6"x48" double herringbone .pat file help

Anonymous — Thu, 20 Apr 2017 17:32:36 GMT

Could anyone help me figure out the code for this pattern? I got the single herringbone .pat code to work from that post, but I don't know how to determine a code for this pattern.

Can you share the .pat file?

This is what I used for the plain herringbone from a previous forum post (it's technically a 4"x48")

*HerringBone 48x4, brick herringbone
;%TYPE=MODEL

45, 0,0, 4,4, 52,-44
135, 2.828427124,2.828427124, 4,-4, 52,-44

Code? Do you mean the pattern definition? It's in the .pat file you received. Rename it with a .txt extension and open it in notebook.

...I see your followup post. What is it that your're looking for?

...Oh, I think I see: You want to scale it. Correct?

Try this.

45, 0,0, 4,4,4, 12,-4,-4
135, 2.828427125, 2.828427125, 2.828427125, 4, -4, -4, 12, -4, -4

Apologies - our servers are down so I cannot test this. Paste into a notepad file, save it with the .pat extension.

You can create you own using HatchKit add-in for Revit.

Thanks Toan. I was a little confused by "CODE" and I wasn't able to open his jpg initially. I can see it now. I agree that HatchKit could certainly do it, but I'm surprised this isn't available on-line. It looks fairly common.

Yes! That's what I need Toan. I looked online and couldn't find the pattern definition (apparently it's not called code ;-P) online. I don't understand how to establish the definition. But if I found where someone else had done that I CAN copy/paste/format the text into the .pat file. (Thank you YouTube!)

I'm not sure my network guards will let me install an add-in....

HatchKit has a brick and tile generator that handles multi-weave herringbone arrangements:
