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.
As long as the option to rotate or align drafting patterns with detail items is not implemented, drawing details in Revit is not a viable option. This should be priority nr 1 if Revit wants to be a complete architectural tool and not just a BIM modeler.
Please get this wish list item on track and implemented soon! This is long overdue. The most expensive BIM modeler existing (Revit) cannot rotate drafting patterns in 2018. Something AutoCAD had figured out 20 years ago. It is quite laughable.

This is unacceptable, and a total irritant. It goes against all logic. Having to create a new pattern for all angles is just plain stupid. Please listen to the people that are using your products. It seems to be a basic need that that appears to have been swept under the rug.
Not even Revit 2019 or Revit 2020 can yet allow model surface patterns that rotate automatically with wall and floor surfaces are allowed to be placed in wall cut patterns. Still stuck here using drafting patterns for wall cut patterns that do not rotate or scale correctly all the time especially for Fire Rating walls. Please Sasha or Harlan place this at the top of the list as an easy fix and longtime request. It can be done in AutoCAD years ago, but not Revit years later and would greatly enhance the plan and 3D cut graphics
I completely agree with eve, just another issue autodesk refuses to address. I wish there was another option for commercial coordination and drawing besides revit or autodesk. Maybe a company that would listen to its users and not focus on sucking money out of another industry (Construction Management) into their black hole of autodesk... We all know where their energy is going and its not on the software we use as architects and engineers. Its all about the money, and not about our efficiency and ease of use for our jobs.
I guess it's too much effort to walk across the room and talk to the AutoCAD developers. That program has been able to rotate hatch patterns for years, and it uses hatch pattern definition files almost identical to Revit's pattern fill files. Not very impressed with Autodesk's lack of effort here.
OMG, it is been 4 years to rotate a draft pattern. time flies......................................................................................................
To reorganize and consolidate our Revit Ideas for ease of use to both our customers and our product teams, we are no longer using the "Future Consideration" status for Revit Ideas. All Revit Ideas are always under review, and consolidating posts (and Kudos!) will give weight to topics previously spread across many posts. We are continuing to evaluate where this request falls into our roadmap and will provide an update when we have made a decision.
When exporting anything with a hatch pattern into dwg format even the simplest patterns such as ANSI31 are generated on the fly or associated with a proper autocad pattern file. While this is not a problem as long as you stick with the patterns that come in the box, you run into problems when you need bespoke patterns such as an ANSI31 pattern rotated by 90°. AutoCAD itself can just add a rotation angle to the hatch object. Revit cannot.
As long as the generated dwg files are only looked at, the generate on the fly approach is fine but if the dwg files are to be edited (some clients require that) all hatch patterns end up looking like the first hatch pattern AutoCAD can find because the user (ie Revit) defined pattern is nowhere to be found. I think this is a considerable flaw.
I came to the Knowledge Network for an answer to why my plywood hatch pattern would not rotate and align with the element only to find a work around. If Revit has solved this, why can't they update the 2017 version with a real solution? I'm using 2021, but older projects still use 2017 and I'm not allowed to update existing projects. I'd hate to draw in the individual lines!
