You can use PyRevit, and you can make the pattern easily with it. https://pyrevit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pyrevit/init.html

Hey @Anonymous 

I would suggest https://pattycake.io/pat

Check it out.. its online and very intuitive..

Its a really great tool.

Cheers, K

i have try it up but how to i know the dimension?

See attached (made using PyRevit).

Made with our DXF to PAT generator. If you are having problems with understanding the platform, please reach out hi@pattycake.io --- we are always looking for ways to improve the service 👍

One complex (with 3mm grout): https://pattycake.io/official/pat/YlVLdmAXyEM

One simple (without grout): https://pattycake.io/official/pat/v2A3m8vw18e

Think you might want to use the without grout for documentation... 3mm joints are a bit too dense and wont read depending on scale. The simple one has tiles 163x243 to accurately represent CL of grout to CL of grout.

My apologies for the delay in providing this corrected pattern:

;%VERSION=3.0
;%UNITS=MM
*160x240+3
;%TYPE=MODEL
180,0,0,163,121.5,160,-166
90,-160,0,-121.5,-163,240,-3
0,-160,240,163,121.5,160,-166
-90,0,240,-121.5,-163,240,-3

The pattern has four grids as it is arranged with offsets set at angles to place the tile repetitions naturally.

Patterns built with orthogonal offsets typically require more definition lines to complete the pattern as demonstrated by patterns created with generators requiring the pattern sample to be built within a rectangle. 

This, the earlier pyrevit pattern from martijn.pater as extracted from the  .rvt file contains 10 grids.

I seriously doubt he's going to cover acres with that tile pattern. I'm all for keeping files as clean as possible, but I would question at what point that would actually become noticable… I appreciate the 'critique' though, so perhaps next time I'll run it through Hatchkit.;) Did you use that to extract the hatch aswell?

Considering that I hate cosmetic add-ins and do not really like PyRevit's coding … the below was generated in excel 😛 .Pat file attached...however, 3mm is pretty much too small to show up in your print outs unless you are printing scale 1:5 to 1:1 !!

>I'm all for keeping files as clean as possible, but I would question at what point that would actually become noticable.

Two occasions where it can are

1.  in sussing how the pattern can repeat exactly within a enclosing rectangle in the first place.  

2. where solving the above results in a much heavier pattern than one with no internal redundancy.

And yes,  HatchKit can extract fill patterns to text files 🙂
