How to create Isometric / Axonometric Brick or Tile Hatch Patterns for 2D?

[Anonymous]

As can be seen from the photo attached. The tiled, brick like flooring is aligned isometrically. I tried to do it after importing a 2D-Isometric CAD file from a SketchUP model, but the brick pattern on AutoCAD just do not align exactly as my isometric drawing. Adjusting the angle of hatch DOES NOT WORK. As it will only change the angle of either the Horizontal OR Vertical brick but NOT both...

Please help! Really desperate now...

Hi,

can you attache here just the part where the hatch exist for testing please ?

Hi, as attached is the file. The walls are made of Bricks. But I figure it is impossible to draw bricks one at a time. I am sure there is a way! 😞 I am so desperately in need of solution now... 😞

Unfortunately ,  isometric hatch is NOT applicable .   😉

So there is no way to achieve that...? 😞

honestly and as much i know ... you have to draw it manually .  !!

oh my gosh... Alright. Thanks!

All you need are a pair of 2D isometric brick patterns.

What size brick?

What size gap or no gaps?   

Even better, post the  orthogonal pattern you want to use.

This what what the copy command is for. Draw one full brick/tile/strip of flooring. For the next row, make a half-brick/half-tile/shorter length of flooring. Copy both of them. Then Copy the 4 items. Then copy the 8 items. You can double the number of copies each time you copy. Also:

1) Isometric is **** for architectural representation. This drawing problem has all the hallmarks of a bad university CAD exercise slapped together by a TA. A better way of showing architectural spaces axonometrically is by using Plan Oblique. Here's a cool article on how to set up SketchUP to display a Plan Oblique:  https://visualizingarchitecture.com/plan-oblique-illustration-part-1/

2) For flooring and other less-than-important hatch patterns, try setting the lineweight of the layer to 0.00 mm. You'll still see it, but it will be much thinner than the default line, and fade into the background.

hihi,

just a regular 215 by 160 brick. With no gap 🙂

Thank u!!

Sorry if this sounds amateurish, but what do I do with these coordinations? 😞

Thank u for the help!!!

I would use this code to create two new text files with the extension .pat (as in the attached .zip file) and store this files anywhere in your support path.

Now you can use this patterns as shown in this Video. 

Or you can add the code to your *.pat file.

Try these.  The number in the file/pattern name is the angle in degrees of the continuous-line parts.  But I must ask -- are those the right dimensions?  The bricks in the floors in your image look like a longer proportion.

[The HatchKit patterns from @hugha are oriented for wall usage rather than floor, and the lengths of the bricks is not what you asked for.]

Oh wow!!

Thank u so so much for the attached file AND the video! U are too kind! 🙂

[Anonymous]

Yes these bricks are for the walls. The image shown is an example on the effect im trying to achieve (which cannot be without using all these "codes").

Nonetheless, thank u 🙂

*Edit: IT WORKS! THANKS 🙂 *

Thanks a lot @hugha @j.palmeL29YX and @KentlCooper !

U guys are amazing 🙂 Didn't know we can do such customization in AutoCAD! Was really desperate before u 3 solved my problem effectively! Thanks again!

I guess you've figured out that you can use mine at appropriate rotation angles to get the wall usage, but here are some that include Floor and Wall in the names, so you can use the appropriate one at zero rotation  for each application.  [The ones for Floor are the same as before, but with the Floor part added to the file and pattern names.]

Oh wow! U are way too kind! Thanks a lot 😄 This helps me a lot!
