Add pattern preview image to drop down list

Anonymous

I created a family using generic model pattern based to be used with divided surfaces.  When I loaded that into another family, it shows up on the drop down list and it works as expected.

 

Is there a way I could add preview image to show on this drop down list.  I'll have a few custom patterns loaded into this family and it'd be better to have a preview image to each one rather than differentiating by names.

Did you try a Save-As and under Options choose a 3D View?

I tried that but it doesn't seem to do the trick.

Does visual style on 3D view matter?  I'm using 2021 but still haven't got that to show up.

 

Also, would it be possible to show a custom image instead of 3D view?

 

Thank you,
