Rotate Drafting Patterns

Rotate Drafting Patterns

Long time Wish List item:

Model Patterns can be rotated, why not Drafting?
We've got a lot of drafted details that would look a lot nicer if the patterns would line up with the elements.

@harlan_brumm 

Any updates on being able to rotate a drafting pattern? This was marked future consideration in 2018. This is a huge design flaw in Revit's drafting capabilities. 

@kimberly.fuhrman Is there any progress on this?  This issue is currently driving me crazy on some details I am working on - I would like to be able to rotate a piece of plywood so that my detail is legible.

 

Thanks!

Hi, @Brian_DriskaYASYX (nice username! 😁),

 

I have not seen any updates, and I can't make any promises, but I am sure the team is aware of this issue. I certainly understand the frustration!

Very frustrating that rotating a hatch pattern has been put in the too hard basket!!  It's 2022 and we still can't rotate a simple pattern...  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can you get the basics such as this working properly before offering any new features in Revit.  It is 15 years after starting to use Revit in our office, and finding and implementing workarounds to get our drawings looking legible still consumes an extraordinary amount of time and profit.

So, its been 6 years now since this very reasonable request and no progress.  In 2023, we now have an updated colorization for dynamo (completely unnecessary) but can't align drafting hatch patterns  with their detail elements.  We don't even have a rotation parameter for hatch patterns, so if we need to rotate the hatch pattern, we need a new name and new hatch pattern code, bloating the pat files with unnecessary code. Adding the type selection for nested fill region patterns was a good step forward but drafting pattern alignment is still a prerequisite for detailing.

And after 7 years, nothing happened.  But still needed.

Autodesk, change your priorities to implement this, this is actually needed to make decent looking construction documents, unlike everything in Revit under Massing tab.

At this moment its not possible to align drafting hatches to the element although this option is available within filled region, its actually not working.

Please make this possible
