Blockwork pattern

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me is there a way to show a blockwork pattern for a foundation wall with the blockwork laid on flat?

Huh?  Can you post a picture of what your are describing?

I am now working with revit full time and starting to convert some old cad drawings. I will need create some basic renders, attached is a screen shot of the foundation wall and a image of the kind of pattern that I was trying to create.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

You forgot to include your screenshot. Do you mean such as this pattern?

Please find screenshot attached. Trying to adjust .pat file, just can’t get it to work...

Still no attachment, @Anonymous.  But, I'm wondering now if you are talking about the orientation of the Surface Pattern.  For instance, maybe you want a pattern rotated a different direction on the surface.  There are ways to do this.  One way would be to make it a Model Pattern (not Drafting Pattern) so that you could physically grab the pattern and rotate it.  

Am I getting warm?

Sorry,

Don't know why attachments did not send, hope this works. I think you have put on the right track by using the model pattern. Ill keep trying .

Many thanks for your reply, hope you see attachments now..

Some of the wall types and patterns maybe already included in the template.  below is an example of a standard CMU wall.  See screencast in a few minute on how to aligning the pattern.

Screencast will be displayed here after you click Post.

Looks like you are wrapping wall ends. How about not wrapping ends. Instead, paint wall ends with a material that uses a parallel lines spaced the distance of the brick height.  Make it Model Pattern so you can line it up with the front pattern.
