Create Fillpattern from .pat file

[RevitArkitek]

I searched around in the API help to see if its possible to create a FillPattern from a .pat file, like when you use the Custom button in the interface.  Doesn't seem like its possible.  Anyone know differently?  Thanks.

Hi,

of course it is possible to convert pattern files into FillPatternElements.

All you need is to read the pattern definitions from such a file (may contain more than one), then create FillPattern objects and set their FillGrids.

A FillGrid is the equivalent of a pattern definition's single line.

Parsing those text lines into FillGrids, is the main task.

That's all.
