PAT Files- Where to get them and why don't they load properly

[Anonymous]

Fun start to the week with some PAT file issues. I am downloading crushed stone PATs from Revitcity, and they load as a bunch of jagged lines instead of the demonstrated stone texture. 

1. Why doesn't Revit give us basic PAT's like crushed stone/ pea stone. I am not finding them in the library

2. Check the screen shot. is it an obvious fix for these to not load improperly? 

3. Please link some good PAT's if you can

Try to scale them up. I know some of the pattern are created using metric unit and it may mess up the pattern value when it is set to Imperial unit.

Sorry, not gonna sign up just to download the file. Can you please share the file for testing?

Revit is not an all inclusive program.

It might be. It's hard to tell without being able to test the file.

syman, did you see my screen shot? when I try to load that pattern, it imports incorrectly. It looks like you didn't have any issues.. what was your process?

It is your import scale.

I had to delete and then bring it back in. The original file, when bumped to 12, would just stretch and still look incorrect. Thank you so much Link. Now go get the princess

You can still use value like 2.25 that still looks good. Once you go below 2, it will start breaking up.
