help with a hatch pattern

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone

I'm trying to create a hatch pattern for two different sized tiles.

I want a 600Hx300W plank tile. Followed by a 600x600 tile. The tiles rows should be offset by 600.

Please look at the image attached.

I'm really trying to get this right... 

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I really like Hatch22 for these kind of patterns.  pretty affordable, and faster than trying to edit text files.

Hatchkit and the HatchKit Add-in work with Revit 2018 and prior versions from 2013 onwards.

The pattern has a skewed arrangement requiring 3 defining elements whereas any rectangular arrangement would require 6. 

hope this helps

Elsewhere In the AutoCAD forum the enquirer allowed that to avoid the issues arising from his choice of tilesize and spacing ensuing from 3mm grout between tiles that the larger tile could be increased to size 603 wide by 600 high therby adsorbing the 3mm grout joint.  Any change in appearance of the pattern by doing this would be imperceptible in practice.

Anyway here's the grouted pattern with 3mm grout and a widened tile:

Adopting a slightly larger tile that won't markedly affect the overall appearance is a very sensible and  pragmatic solution.

 This is also a skewed pattern that does not rely on the rectangular arrangement.

 imposed by all other hatch pattern utilities. 

This pattern if defined with a rectangular arrangement requires a larger template consisting of 16 elements.
