problem with custom pattern.

[Anonymous]

I am trying to create a custom model pattern.  But whenever I go to load the pattern I get an error saying that no model pattern exists. any advice? What am I missing? 

;%UNITS=INCH
;%VERSION=3.0
*Block 16x48, large panel vert
;%TYPE=MODEL
0, 0, 0, 0, 16
90, 0, 0, 48, 48, 48, -48

Any help would be greatly apprciated.

Here is a file that works:

Can you explain the difference? I see you switched the units and the version call order. and changed the spacing between variables. It looks like a specific number of spaces rather than tabs? I still don't understand what i did wrong and would like to learn for creating other patterns

I copied your definition to my file that I know it was correct.

I suspect the crucial thing is the way this file is formatted.

Thank you, Yeah it must be an issue with the format. I still can't quite put my finger on the specific problem though.

Have you tried HatchBuilder? I needed to create a custom tile pattern and found this info in another post. Have to convert metric but for my case it worked like a charm - http://www.revitlog.nl/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=382:revithatchbuilder-englisch&c...
