Morning All,
I am new to Revit so hope you can help.
Is there a surface pattern available to help me replicate the tile hanging pattern attached?
Thank you in advance
Tile Hanging Surface pattern
Hi,
There might be similar patterns if you search online, but if you want to have your very own pattern, I'd use pyRevit, a Revit addin that includes a tool for creating your own patterns. You can download it from here (it is free) https://github.com/eirannejad/pyRevit/releases (https://github.com/eirannejad/pyRevit/releases/download/v4.8.12.22247%2B0031/pyRevit_4.8.12.22247_si...)
After installing pyRevit, create a new project in Revit and open a 2D view, on the ribbon, go to the Annotate tab and select Detail Lines, then draw your pattern (make it square). Select the lines of your pattern and use the Make Pattern tool, under the pyRevit tab, set options as needed then Create the Pattern.
You should then be able to assign your new pattern to any material or filled region.

OK I went ahead and created a pattern for you that might just work as is.
These are the detail lines I sketched first (38.5" high by 42" wide):
And here it is applied as surface pattern on an object's material
To add the attached PAT file to Revit, go to Manage tab>Additional Settings>Fill Patterns, select Drafting or Model (if you want it to show in 3D views as well, use Model), then create a new pattern, set it to Cusotm, then Browse to my PAT file:
I hope this helps!

This worked very well on the elevations thank you but could not get it to work on the 3d model
Hi,
That elevation looks good! 🙂
The pattern won't show in 3D view if the view style is set to show the render appearance of materials, because surface patterns for materials are a Graphics property, so try changing 3D view style to either Hidden Line, Shaded or Consistent Colors.
If you want those tiles to show in 3D as render appearance, patterns are not the way to go. You'd need an image file as the texture (also some extra assets like bump map and/or normal map, etc)
