What are the model pattern lines?

We use StreamBIM to manage our production on-site and one of the things that have been really time-consuming and difficult is to review our Ceiling Patterns in the streamed model. Basically, we export our Revit files as IFC, process them in SimpleBIM and then upload them into StreamBIM. This is an automated process, but when it comes to the ceilings... then the problems start, we have to do it manually, there isn't a way to get them correctly into the IFC's, etc.

So I'm wondering if I can write a script (either via Rhino.Inside + GH or Dynamo) and the first question is what the heck should I try to select? Model Patterns aren't sub-categories of any objects and they don't show under "Lines". 

Is there somebody that has an idea about how to go with this?

You may find a starting point down the rabbit-hole here:

It's fairly well undocumented so any light you may be able to shed on this neglected corner would be most welcomed.
