Revit custom fill pattern

[ruan.barnard]

I'm trying to create a custom floor tile pattern to look like in the attached image... how would I go about it...? I've tried hatch.22, but this pattern seems to be to complex.

You can do this in hatch22, you just need to rigure out what your repeating pattern is (in a square format).

See the attached image.

Also, if you're going to use hatch22, you might want to look at the examples file.

That will help you understand how hatch22 works.

*Rectangular format....it's not restricted to being square.

Try the attached pattern (from HatchKit)..

Note the larger square tile is 1" square so you should scale it up when loading to Revit.

Hi,

A better approach would be to insert the .pat file into revit as a new custom pattern. If you have the .pat file then create a new pattern (model or draft), use custom, import the pattern, correct the scale and you're done.

Thank you for providing a detailed expansion of what I intended to convey by the phrase "scale it up when loading to Revit".

Hugh, I didn't completely read what you said. You're welcome.

Hi mertens3d, could you explain how to change the proportions of the hatch tile?  I am working with a pattern that requires rectangular proportions in order to tile correctly.

Thanks!

[mertens3d]

Just stretch the hatch22 boundary box fo

the desired size 

[AGRAHAMDRUPG]

When I do that and import to Revit, it still reads it as if its supposed to be a square; thus the pattern doesn't display properly. It seems like there might be a Revit setting that needs adjustment.

[mertens3d]

Actually with the newer versions of hatch22 you don’t have to import the pat anymore. Just insert a 3x3 swatch and the pattern will automatically be in your file. 

Also, I encourage you not to importing complicated pats as the pat file doesn’t seem to be able to hold the required resolution. 

But, if you do want to import...could you post some screen shots and the steps you are taking? Maybe post a small Revit file with the hatch22 pattern in it.

While this forum continues to announce the following

We are experiencing an issue with attaching certain Revit file types to posts... 

you may find it simpler to post the problematic .PAT pattern for inspection.

hth,

Hi

If its one off then you may try adaptive component...

heres the screencast

1. Adaptive Model Family

2. set the size

3. create pattern for that size

4. insert and follow steps .. Adaptive point 1, then 2, 3 and 4..

5. use more adaptive family or use other floor to hide hatch overflow..

cheers
