REVIT Hatch Pattern

[stuart]

Hi All,

Has anyone come across a hatch pattern that can symbolize vertical timber boarding which is at unequal widths? say one board 100mm width another 55mm wide and the another 250mm wide etc...

Thanks.

Get pyRevit and create it yourself.

Thanks ToanDN

However, I am using REVIT LT. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hi,

in which case you might find HatchKit for RevitLT handy but possibly overkill for a pattern containing only vertical lines giving widths of say, 100, 55, 250, 45 repeating indefinitely:

@stuart  Something like this?

Download or further adjust the PAT from here: https://pattycake.io/pat/22doryzwoll

Quickly laid out a bunch of random vertical board widths and just random lines across - apologies for the random numbers, but maybe this is what you were thinking about. I did it with imperial, but you can flip from inches to mm and then use a global scale factor of 2.54 or 25.4 depending on your units.

Made with Pattycake - a web based, real-time PAT editor which requires no plug-ins or software to download.
