Isn't it time to devise something a little more modern for patterns? Hard to believe that the 35 year-old PAT file format is still the "technology" of choice for this. Would love to see a modern pattern creator that could do any kind of pattern. Including: rectilinear, random, and especially radial. It is just silly that we have to use model lines and arrays or material hacks to simple brick arches or radial floor patterns.
We have issues with a plywood pattern specifically. This is used in all different orientations, horizontal vertical, and sloped at varying angles. I don't like creating different patterns for each situation. In Autocad I can create the pattern and rotate it to the needed orientation. We also use pattern overlays for our rated walls, thanks to fourms and back and forth with several people we were able to make the basic rated walls needed, however the boss want several added, I tried to manipulate the .pat text for a few of the patterns to add additional dash and just became frustrated. More industry standard hatches would be very beneficial.
Smart hatch Creator, being able to control the line weights, the pattern, repeating, modifying, etc. I still don't get why we have to get through AutoCAD to import hatch patterns that more often than not are not scaled and not adapted to the project. I really think it is the right time to rethink the whole process, a lot of time would be saved!
Currently, the only way to have a custom hatch pattern is to code one yourself. This is an extremely tedious process, and a lot of time could be saved if there was just an option where you could simply dimension a sample tile to whatever swath you wanted to show, draft a pattern, and then the pattern would fill that tile automatically, and therefore populate any shape. Would be much appreciated.
I don't know if anyone from The Factory has looked at the pyRevit "open source" tool on GitHub. It has a Pattern generator I'm sure they can get the code from & further develop it from there into their own for this purpose. How bout it Autodesk?
@dplumb_BWBR Just had a look at link you sent. Wish I could use that but currently using Revit LT which doesn't allow external plugins. Other than that that would have been a really useful tool to use.
we've just started using a free plug-in called pyRevit that has a feature to create a new hatch pattern by drawing it in a drafting view. seems to work pretty well. pyRevit seems to have many features Autodesk would do well to incorporate.
Its still 2018 and this has over 800 votes and STILL no implementation into Revit. What the heck has to be done for the developers to listen to users ?????
Revit hatch/fill pattern is quite limited. You can create diagonal, vertical and horizontal line or crosslines based fill patterns. But if needed something else, have to import from AutoCAD as pat. -file or create with 3rd Party add-in.
Should have possibility to create inside Revit with it's own tools like detail lines etc. At the moment I use 3rd party add-in inside Revit, but I would like to keep my Revit UI so unify and clean as possible more add-ins you need to use and install, more unclear UI comes. At least this kind of basic stuff like creating own hatch/fill patterns should provided by Autodesk already.
