custom hatch pattern

[Anonymous]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to create custom hatch pattern but i always got  the pop up saying "no model pattern find"

here is my pattern.

;%UNITS=MM
;%VERSION=3.0

*Ceiling1, (2) 600 X 1200 (1)150 x 1200
;%TYPE=MODEL
0, 0,0, 0,1350
0, 0,1200, 1350,0
90, 0,0, 0,1200
90, 600,0, 0,1200
90, 1200,0, 0,1200
90, 1350,0, 0,1200

can you please help me figure this out.. thanks

You just need two lines for rectangular model hatch

try this

*ceiling 1200 x 600
;%TYPE=MODEL
0, 0, 0, 0, 1200
90, 0, 0, 0, 600

Thanks. But I also need to have 150x600 every 2 of 600x 1200..

[Corsten.Au]

am not sure how to add another level to that.. but if you have a 2D hatch pattern

available which works,  then just add

;%TYPE=MODEL

to hatch pat file...

[Corsten.Au]

try this..and modify accordingly

;%VERSION=3.0

;%UNITS=MM

* Ceiling

;%TYPE=MODEL

90,600,600,0,1200

90,300,300,0,1200

90,0,0,0,1200

0,0,0,0,600

there is a mistake in the 2nd line definition

;%VERSION=3.0
;%UNITS=MM

*Ceiling1 _ (2) 600 X 1200 (1)150 x 1200
;%TYPE=MODEL
0, 0,0, 0,1350
0, 0,1200, 0,1350
90, 0,0, 0,1200
90, 600,0, 0,1200
90, 1200,0, 0,1200
90, 1350,0, 0,1200

your hatch pattern is missing 2 digits from each line.

*edit*

take a look at this:

Try these out...

Revit 2017 file and pat file attached.

;%UNITS=MM
*Ceiling,Ceiling Grid
;%TYPE=MODEL
0,0,1200,0,-1200,1350,0
0,0,0,0,-1200,1350,0
-90,0,1200,0,-1350,1200,0
-90,1350,1200,0,-1350,1200,0
-90,150,1200,0,-1350,1200,0
-90,750,1200,0,-1350,1200,0

@FAIR59 nails ir.

Defining Revit fill patterns consisting entirely of unbroken lines such as this ceiling grid is not at all difficult

Open a text editor and put this at the top of a text file 

;%VERSION=3.0

then for a pattern dimensioned in MM.

;%UNITS=MM

or, if dimensioned in inches

;%UNITS=INCHES

Then the pattern's name prefixed by an asterisk

*pattername

then, for a MODEL pattern  add this one line.
;%TYPE=MODEL

then, for each line in the pattern, add a line containing five numbers separated by commas. 

1.   Angle from horizontal in degrees

2.   X co-ordinate of a point on that line

3.   Y co-ordinate of the same point

4.  the number zero

5.  line's spacing, measured perpendicular to line

Save the file with extension .PAT and load to Revit.

This is explained fully in the preamble to the standard pattern file Revit.pat distributed with Revit.

Note:  the free HatchKit Add-In for Revit. graphically creates patterns consisting of multiple unbroken lines directly within Revit projects.
