How to repeat a pattern accurately.

[f.annoscia1XRNMD]

Good morning.

Following the suggestion of @barthbradley I realized this "modulo" in metric generic adaptive model family file and then I inserted it in metric curtain panel pattern based family file.

Now however I have difficulty mounting it. I have to get this drawing, highlighted in red.

I cannot get the pattern repeated precisely. Actually I will have to add other rods connected in the back part, but for the moment I would like to understand how to make this "flat façade" Then I will have to repeat the operation also for the roof, but it is simpler.

Thanks to those who can help me.

Well, first off, 1/2 Step is the wrong pattern. 

Refer to this link to learn more about the different Patterns:

Thank you. Which pattern do you think is fine? Using the triangular one I lose a part of the geometry.

I saw that there was an error in the file, I corrected it, but I do not know which pattern to use, wich pattern is correct.

You need to look into Trusses. That is what he uses in 90% of his projects.

He is the father of "Less is More" ... so why would you want to over complicate things

Good morning. In the meantime I have realized this support with metric curtain panel pattern based family.

Now I should compose it in a new project file, I think. Then I should make the roof and join it. I should therefore combine two different family mass in a single project, that is, roof and supports, which in turn contain the patterns. Is this correct? @barthbradley 

@RDAOU, how did you make the howe trusses?

Thank you.
