Personally I've never had much success with creating hatches in Notepad (amazes me still that there is no editor built in to Revit) but I find this little freebie very good.

Revit Hatch Builder

It's pretty easy to use and might help.

Take out the line struck out above (or edit it to add what's missing) and the pattern will load.
