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.
Completely agree. This would greatly reduce the amount of work that is needed to make a detail section look better. Now we model most of our casework, but in able to show up good in section views we need to go over it with detail components (most casework hatches like plywood etc are directional). If we were able to rotate the drafting patterns on view by view basis we could just go in there, rotate a few hatches and be done with it.
In order for it to work though, one should be able to rotate patterns on non-system families (for now we can rotate patterns on ceilings and walls but not patterns that are attached to a casework family (a splashing wall above a kitchen counter, a tiled worksurface on a kitchen island, wood veneer patterns, ...)
Alos, it would be great if drafting hatches would react to "align with element".
Drafting patterns have the "Orientation in Host Layers" option that can be set to "Align with element" - but according to Autodesk help, this only works when the fill pattern is used in walls, floors, roofs, ceilings...
I would love for this to work with detail components - and why not always? Is there ever a time when we would NOT want a drafting pattern to stay aligned with the element when that option is set?
Thanks for your submission and votes on this idea! We are evaluating where this request falls into our roadmap and will provide an update when we have made a decision.
Revit needs the ability to alter the alignment of drafting patterns. Everything is based on starting @ 0 and there are times when that really doesn't work.
You can create rotations from patterns with the HatchKit Add-In for Revit available from the Revit Exchange.
Note that this does not cover dplumb's desire to rotate or translate instances of drafting fills as each amended view could require referring to a different new pattern.
The ability to rotate, translate or even scale each instance of a drafting fill would confer great flexibility where none is currently available.
We've completed our review of this idea. After investigating the effort required to implement this request, we unable to add it to our roadmap at this time due to other priorities. However, we think this is a great idea so we will reconsider it as we made adjustments to our roadmap in the future. Thanks for the submission and keep voting!
This is one of those obvious functionality issues with Revit that I am astonished exists. Being able to rotate/align fill patterns in drafting views is a critical detailing requirement.
I can't rotate drafting patterns. For example- the oft mentioned plywood detail item- does not align to the direction it is drawn- so I am limited to a pattern that is either vertical or horizontal. Drafting patterns should be fully rotational- so that when my plywood is at a 30 degree rotation- I can have a plywood pattern that is also at 30 degree rotation.
This is not the title I wrote- this is the title that autodesk suggested- apparently by reviewing the suggestion- it means I select the suggestion. The title should be "Align or Rotate drafting patterns."
