Help needed for a Custom Hatch Pattern

[bwhisenhunt]

I am having a brain-fart issue making a custom Hatch Pattern.   It is supposed to be a stacked brick/tile.   The first stack is 18" x 120" followed by 18"x 48" and then repeated.  I wrote it like below and it's not doing what I want.  Please advise.

;%UNITS=INCH
*18x120_Cienna
;%TYPE=MODEL
0,0,0,120,18
90,0,0,0,120
0,0,0,168
90,0,0,0,18

check the following

;%UNITS=INCH
*18x120_Cienna
;%TYPE=MODEL
0, 0, 0, 0, 18
90, 120, 0, 0, 120, 18, -18
90, 48, 18, 0, 48, 18, -18

Can you draw what you're after?  @komondormrex 's suggestion would make this:

[The first 120 and the first 48 in it may as well both be zero.]  But do you really want all those straight-through vertical joints?  That seems a violation of good masonry coursing practice.  Should it, for example, be like this?

Or maybe this, with the 48ers staggered from each other>

Or should the 120ers also be staggered in relation to each other?

It's a little awkward because the longer length is not an integer multiple of the shorter one.

[And who makes ten-foot-long bricks/tiles, or for that matter, 18" high ones?]

Sorry Kent, I didn't communicate my needs well.  It is metal panels.  They need it stacked/no stagger for 10' panels then another stack that are 4' long then back to the 10'.  Basically horizontal line 18" apart with vertical line at 10' then 4' then another 10'.   Linearly vertical at 10', 14', 24' etc.

You mean like this?

If so, try this:

0, 0,0, 0,18
90, 0,0, 0,168
90, 120,0, 0,168

If not, please draw what you intend.

That is exactly what I am needing.  Kent, you are always so helpful and I do appreciate it!
