Modify Fill Patern

Hi all. I want to modify a fill pattern for an insulation in the material browser as per the image attached but I cannot find this in the list. Do we have any solution for this?

 

Thanks

This is a custom pattern...It is not in the default list of Revit. To create a similar one, you need to do one of the following

  • Use an Add-in/App which creates custom Patterns...Similar to an App called Hatch22 or HatchKIT...You can find a free version of HatchKIT on Autodesk App Store HERE
  • You can download the .PAT file from sites similar to CADhatch.com - I think there used to be a Model type Fill pattern of the same you are looking for there (see image below)

  • You can also try to do one using windows Note Pad then save it as a PAT file

Once you have the pat file, you can load it in Revit as a custom pattern as follows

I managed to import insulation pattern into revit.

 

The problem is, depending on the scale in looks good or not.

 

For instance, Scale 1:20 looks good but not for 1:5. I attach image of each case.

 

Any advice on this?

Thanks

Unfortunately, you cannot assign a Model Pattern to a Wall Layer, so the pattern will scale with the scale of the View so that it always plots at the same size (rather than maintaining a fixed "model" dimension and plotting larger or smaller based on the view scale).

 

It may be easier to get the fill pattern right for one, commonly used scale, and then using filled regions in views of other scales.  Unless someone else has a more clever suggestion for getting different fill patterns to be used for different view scales.  (I did not see a way to change the pattern assigned to a material based on whether the View was set to Medium or Fine.  (Coarse can be different, as that is not set in the material for the layer, but for the overall Wall width.  But you may not want the entire Wall width in Coarse views getting the insulation pattern.)

Use the HatchKit Add-In for Revit to create rescaled versions of fills already existing in your project.

Perhaps I am not reading you correctly? I use a model pattern as the surface pattern assigned to a material, which is in turn assigned to a wall's exterior layer, quite often and have no problems.

He was talking about wall layer patterns on plan.

Ahhh... I didn't get that. Soooo...model patterns cannot be assigned to a material's cut pattern then? I never tried it.
