Revit surface pattern textures

[yordan.vakarelov]

Hi there! I wanted to ask if there is a way to force Revit to display Graphics surface pattern textures regardless of how zoomed in you are to a certain element? Currently, I have elevations that are at an angle and some of the brickwork is not displaying unless the elevation is parallel to the viewpoint. (see attached image below)

The surface patterns are there but they are not visible unless you zoom in on the sheet reference drawing itself. Is there a way to fix this? The scale is 1:200 on those sheets.

Thanks!

The pattern it too dense to show.  Not much you can do about it.   At 1:200. I don't see much detail in the real world either.

Hi @barthbradley, thanks for the reply. I understand that it is too dense to show but I am looking for a way around this.

So, you're looking for a "special effect" basically?  Play around with Override Graphics is View. Maybe that will you get you to where you want to go?

@yordan.vakarelovHave you tried pyRevit's pattern creator to create an 'enlarged' pattern? Maybe call the new pattern Brickwork 1:200 and scale/draw the new pattern so that it's visible at your scale.

Google pyRevit pattern and watch the video, it does a good job of walking you through how it works.
